The Chinese Chargé d’Affaires at Washington to the Secretary of State.
Washington, December 10, 1913.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed favor of the 5th instant,1 in which you convey to me the welcome intelligence that through the kind intervention of the Legation of your Government in Panama a settlement has been reached of the difficulties of the Chinese residents of that country with its authorities.
I have great pleasure in expressing to you the high appreciation of this Legation with the arduous and patient labors of the American representative in Panama and the successful result thereof, and also to inform you that I have cabled to my Government full details of the terms of settlement obtained by him, which I have no doubt will be accepted by it as a fresh proof of the disposition of the Government of the United States to aid the Republic of China in a time of trouble and embarrassment.
