Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your excellency’s note number 377 of the 5th instant with which you were pleased to transmit to me the communication of the United States attorney for the western district of Texas, relative to the vigilance exercised by the American authorities along the boundary line to prevent any violation of the neutrality laws.

The embassy appreciates to their full value the efforts of the said authorities and hopes, in view of the sentiments which animate the Government of the United States, that they will prevent and energetically repress all punishable acts committed in violation of the statutes.

I renew [etc.],
