The Secretary of State to the President of Cuba (Mendieta)
Washington, August 27, 1934.
I am deeply appreciative of Your Excellency’s kind message, and in reciprocating the cordial personal sentiments expressed therein, I assure you that it has been a source of particular gratification to me to have been privileged to participate in the negotiation of an agreement which holds such great promise of immediate substantial contribution to the welfare of our respective countries through renaissance of trade upon a sound economic basis of natural exchange.
