Minister Sorsby to the Secretary of State.
La Paz, Bolivia, February 22, 1906.
Sir: I have the honor to report with respect to our treaty with Bolivia for the interchange of postal parcels, that while such parcels have all along been sent from the United States to Bolivia without inconvenience, owing to some objection, the exact nature of which I have been unable to ascertain, Perú refuses to allow the transit of post parcels from Bolivia destined for the United States.
This matter was called to my attention the early part of last year and I took it up with the Perúvian minister here and the Bolivian minister for foreign affairs, and we thought that the matter had been arranged; but recently I found that Perú still refuses to permit the transit of parcels for the United States, and I again saw the Perúvian minister here and the minister for foreign affairs, and the Perúvian minister has again taken up the matter with his Government, recommending that transit be allowed.
I have the honor, etc., etc.,
