The Mexican Chargé (Diego-Fernández) to the Secretary of State

[Translation]

Mr. Secretary of State: I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that in compliance with instructions just received from the Mexican Government, I have turned the Embassy over to Señor Dr. Alvaro Torre Díaz, who will be at its head in charge of the interests of Mexico.

I gladly avail myself of the opportunity to say to Your Excellency that I shall treasure pleasant memories of our relations and am [Page 171] truly sorry to leave the Capital where the authorities of the United States have given me so many evidences of friendship and consideration for which I am profoundly thankful.

I renew [etc.]

S. Diego-Fernández
