Mr. Day to Señor Polo de Bernabé.

Dear Mr. Minister: I have to acknowledge receipt of your note of 26th instant, informing me that you had telegraphed to H. E. the Governor-General of Cuba, advising him of the arrival at Matanzas of the Norwegian steamer Ulstein, and requesting that all possible facilities and franchises be extended to that vessel, provided the cargo only contains goods for the relief of the reconcentrados.

Accept my thanks for your courtesy and prompt cooperation in this matter, and believe me,

Very truly, yours,

William R. Day.
