Informs him that his telegram relative to Bolivia’s request for good offices in Argentina was received almost at same time as similar request on behalf of Argentine interests in Bolivia. Adds that the United States viewed these requests as a proof of confidence of the two countries in the sincere and impartial friendship of this Government, that the dual trust was uninvited and was accepted in cordial friendship to both countries, and that favorable action was taken on each, and simultaneous telegrams sent to the legations at Buenos Aires and La Paz to this effect.
