The Brazilian Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
Washington, April 25, 1906.
Mr. Secretary of State: The Bureau of the American Republics having resolved that the Third Conference of the American Republics should meet in the city of Rio de Janeiro on July 21, 1906, the Brazilian Government instructs me to invite the Government of the United States to take part in that conference, the programme of which has been already organized by the Bureau of the American Republics under your own presidency. Sure as it feels that the United States will not fail to accept this invitation, the Brazilian Government would highly appreciate your courtesy in communicating to it the names of the delegates that would represent the United States.
I have the honor, etc.,
