Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 3, 1901

Mr. Hill to Señor Vasquez.

Department of State,
Washington, September 25, 1901.

Sir: The pressure of public business attendant upon the death of President McKinley has delayed until now an acknowledgment of your telegram of the 14th instant, conveying an expression of the sympathy of the Government of the Dominican Republic with that of the United States in the loss it has sustained by that sad event.

I shall be obliged if you will assure your Government of the grateful appreciation of the Government of the United States for its message of condolence.

At the same time I beg to thank you for the expression of sympathy made on your own behalf.

Accept, etc.,

David J. Hill,
Acting Secretary.
