President Faure to President McKinley.
His Excellency McKinley,
President of the United
States:
I have had great pleasure in receiving the American plenipotentiaries of the Spanish-American Peace Commission. During the audience Mr. Day read to me the telegram which you had the kindness to send me. I am much touched at the sentiment which your excellency has had the goodness to express in respect to me, and I thank you very much. I hope that the American Commissioners will have a pleasant memory of their stay in Paris, and I will do my best to make it agreeable. I sincerely trust that the peaceful work of the Commission will come to a happy conclusion.
