I assure Your Excellency that the reception which he received here may be taken as indicating the feeling of friendship which the Government and people of this country bear toward their sister Republic of Mexico.

I am sorry to say that I haven't got a single particle of news of any sort or kind at the present time.

I send you my cordial congratulations upon your birthday and I do pray that you may long continue in health and happiness to be the wise counselor and valued friend of the youth of the land.

I wish you every success in the efforts you and your associates are putting forth along these lines.

I am much interested in the work of the Pan American Society in its promotion of friendly relations and mutual understanding between the United States and its sister republics of Latin America.

The proposed legislation has my approval and I recommend its immediate enactment.
