No. 7890
Mr. Chargé d’affaires: I reply to that
Embassy’s courteous note number 1684 urgent, dated the 23rd instant,
in which, with
[Page 541]
reference
to the antecedents of the case, you were good enough to inform me
that your Government proposes to instruct the American Boundary
Commissioner to be in Mexico City early in the month of July for the
purpose of initiating negotiations for a treaty which shall contain
the points indicated in Minute 111 and such other matters as the two
Governments consider may well be included in the proposed
Convention, inquiring, at the same time, whether my Government is
agreeable to the initiation of such negotiations in the early part
of July, in order that the necessary arrangements may be made, with
the presence of the Mexican Boundary Commissioner.
In reply, I have the honor to inform you that, although no agreement
has been reached specifically to negotiate a treaty, but only to
come to a satisfactory arrangement, contained, if necessary, in an
official instrument the exact nature of which could later be
determined, this Ministry is agreeable to having both Boundary
Commissioners meet in the City of Mexico, for the purpose of
examining (revisar) the recommendations
contained in Minute 111, guided by (dentro
de) the observations made in regard to said Minute by the
Government of Mexico; and therefore I beg to suggest to you that
said meetings be initiated beginning July 10th next.
I avail myself [etc.]
