Illness, the good feeling and t he gen.
uine concern for the peace and vel
fare of America manifested in the
joint note just received from your eX-
cellency rendering the good offices of
your government to effect if possible
a settlement of the present diff
Guilty between the government of the
United States and those who now
claim to represent our sister republic
OF Mexico.
Conscious of the purpose with
which the proffer Is made, this govern
ment does not feel at liberty to de-
cline II. Its own chief interest is in the
peace of America, the cordial inter
course of her republic, and their peo
pie, and the happiness and prosperity
which can spring only out of frank
mutual understandings ana the friend
ship which is created by common pur
pose. The generous offer of your gov.
ernment is therefore accepted.
This government hopes most ear.
nestly that you may find those who
speak for the several elements of the
Mexican people willing and ready to
discuss terms of satisfactory, and
therefore, permanent settlement. II

ernment will be glad to take up with
you for discussion in the frankest and
most conciliatory spirit any proposals
that may be authoritatively formu
lated. and will hope that they may
prove feasible and prophetic OF new
day of mutual cooperation and conf
dence in America.

to make sure Of an uninterrupted op
portunity TO carry out the plan OF in
tcrmediation which you propose. !,
is. of course, possible that some ac,
OF aggression on the part of those who
control the military forces of Mexico
might ohligc the United States to act
to the upsetting OF the hopes of immc
diate peace, but this does not justify
us In hesitating to accept your gen,
erous suggestion.
I'VE shall hope for the best results
within brief time. enough to relieve
our anxiety lest most ill.considered
hostile demonstrations should inter.
rupt negotiations and disappoint our
hopes Of peace
