Dear Mr. Foster: His Majesty the King, my august sovereign, yesterday directed to the President a telegram of which I have the honor to transmit to you herewith a copy.

In giving me this notice, his excellency the minister of foreign affairs, charges me to testify to you all the satisfaction experienced by the Italian Government for the present high manifestation of the reciprocal cordiality of the friendly sentiments between the two nations.

Believe me, etc.,
