The Acting Secretary of State to the Vice Consul in Charge of the Legation in Haiti (Longyear)

69. For General Russell.

Your August 26, noon.

You will inform the Haitian Government that this Government is gratified to receive the assurance conveyed in note referred to and that it desires to suggest the advisability of forwarding a copy of the draft of the law authorizing the issue of bonds of Series “B” to the Department before its presentation to the Council of State. This will make it possible for the Financial Adviser to study the matter and to make any suggestions which may appear advisable. There would appear to be ample time to forward telegraphic summary of the project before consideration by Council of State.
