Legation of Haiti,
Washington , September 15, 1900 .

Mr. Secretary of State: I hasten to inform you that I have returned to Washington. I was sorry to hear, on my landing at New York, the sorrowful news of the Galveston disaster. Permit me to join in the mourning of so many distressed families and to lament with you the losses that the country has just sustained.

Be pleased to accept, etc.,

J. N. Léger.
