The Bolivian Minister (Finot) to the Secretary of State

Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s note dated the 27th of this month, in which you are good enough to inform me that in accordance with the advice received from the American Legation at La Paz, the Government of the United States agrees in extending to the Consular Officials of Bolivia in this country the privilege of the importation free of duty of articles for their personal use on a basis of reciprocity and on the conditions stated in the note of Your Excellency above referred to.

On this subject, I am pleased to inform Your Excellency that I have received instructions from my Government to conclude this accord, conducted by the American Legation at La Paz. In consonance with it the necessary instructions will be issued to apply to the Consular Officials of the United States in Bolivia so that they may enjoy the same privileges accorded by Your Excellency’s Government to the Bolivian Consular Officials in the United States.

Accept [etc.]

Enrique Finot
