The Secretary of State to the Minister of Peru.

Department of State,
Washington, September 24, 1913.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of July 18 last, on the subject of the boundary controversy between Peru and Ecuador, in which you state that your Government would be grateful if the mediating powers could be convinced that the only solution of the question lies in the arbitration of it and if they would exert all possible influence over the Government of Ecuador with a view to the submission of it to The Hague Tribunal of Arbitration.

Accept [etc.]

(For the Secretary of State.)
