The Liberian Secretary of State (Barclay) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 28.]
Mr. Secretary of State: On my departure from the United States I desire to express to Your Excellency my sincere appreciation of the most sympathetic and courteous consideration paid me whilst resident in your great country, and to record both officially and personally my thanks for the helpful suggestions and assistance rendered me by your Department in the various matters with which I have been charged.
Permit me to add that I return to Liberia in the firm conviction that the Government of the United States faithful to the traditional ideals of its founders is working for the untrammelled development of the various peoples of the world along democratic lines and that my country and its Government might rely upon the disinterested assistance and cooperation of the Great American Republic upon all proper occasions.
Please accept [etc.]
