The Chilean minister to the Secretary of State.
Washington, April 4, 1906.
Esteemed Mr. Secretary: I had the honor to receive on day before yesterday your communication of Saturday, by which you gave me the pleasure of hearing that you accept the invitation to visit Chile, extended to you by me in the name of my Government.
I have submitted this very agreeable information to my Government, by which I am instructed to say to the Secretary of State that it takes his decision as a signal token of cordiality, and that it feels sure that the necessary consequence of your visit will be a complete and frank understanding between our Governments, while it will at the same time draw even closer the bonds of friendship that unite our countries.
The most respectful servant of the Secretary of State,
