No. 68.
Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. Martinez

Sir: In acknowledging the receipt of your excellency’s note of the 10th instant, permit me to convey to you my gratification in receiving your assurance that the Government of Chili, in its attitude toward the Calderon Government in Peru and in its treatment of President Calderon, had no intention or purpose to impair in any way the state of friendship and cordiality which has always existed between it and the Government of the United States, and which it is the sincere wish of this government may be perpetual.

Accept, sir, &c.,

FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
