The money may be sent to Managua, Nicaragua, in the same manner as the $25,000, (twenty-five thousand dollars) were remitted on the 13th instant, which appears to me to be the most expeditious way.
I avail myself of this opportunity to express to your excellency my grateful acknowledgment of your favorable action in behalf of the Government of Nicaragua and beg leave [etc.]
