hut have not yet received letter of re-
call though would not bo at all surprised
to receive such summons. During my
stay in Washington | have been treated
very kindly by all the officials with whom !
have been brought in contact, and | am
rather proud OF the modus yiyendi which ]
negotiated with Mr.. Bay ard under the last
administration. Secretary Blaine is follow
ing in the footsteps Of his predecessors re-
gardng the dement's OF reciprocity, and this
is very acceptable 10 my Government. Oi
