Senhor Chermont to Senhor Mendonça.

[Left by Senhor Mendonça November 27, 1891.—Translation.]

Transmit to the President of the United States of America the expressions of gratefulness of the President of the United States of Brazil for the deep interest manifested for the new political institutions of this country. The moderation that he would advise is born in the character of the Brazilian people, in the sentiment and in the policy of its President, and has been practiced by his Government. The President acknowledges with great satisfaction that in this instance, as in so many others, the two Republics find themselves in perfect accord. And you may add that the friendly advice would be cherished with the feelings worthy such a friend.

Chermont.
