The French Chargé ( Béarn ) to the Secretary of State
Mr. Secretary of State: In connection with my letter of the 9th of July last, I have the honor to announce to Your Excellency that the Government of the Republic, after a reexamination of the question, and being desirous of meeting the views of the Federal Government, has just informed me that it agrees to take part in the Washington Telegraphic Conference.
The President of the Council, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has instructed me, however, to ask that the meeting be postponed until the second half of November, the French authorities concerned needing this time to study the numerous and important questions embraced in the program of the Conference.
Please accept [etc.]
