Mr. Foster to Señor Hurtado.
September 8, 1892 .
My Dear Sir: Tour letter of yesterday was received this morning, asking me for an early reply to your official note of the 5th instant.
I am pleased to be able to say that your request had already been anticipated, as a reply was prepared on yesterday and will doubtless be mailed to you to-day. If the Congress of Colombia confers upon the President the power mentioned in your note of the 5th instant, I see no reason why we should not reach a satisfactory solution of the question on the lines indicated in our conferences. At least, I should be ready to do all in my power to bring it about.
With great respect,
I am, etc.,
