Excellency: I have the honor to
acknowledge the note of August 14 of Your Excellency’s
predecessor, with which he was kind enough to enclose a
certified copy of the Treaty for Peace, Friendship and
Arbitration and of the Haitian-Dominican Boundary Treaty
recently concluded between the Dominican Republic and the
Republic of Haiti and to call attention particularly to Article
7 of this Boundary Treaty.
I have taken note of the text of Article 7 of the Boundary Treaty
which provides for the organization of a Mixed Commission, in
the event that there is a disagreement on the part of the
Boundary Commission, one member of which Commission shall be
appointed by the President of the United States.
I desire to avail myself of this opportunity of expressing my
pleasure at the successful outcome of the negotiations entered
into between the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti
for the settlement of the long standing boundary difficulty.
Accept [etc.]
