“I have had the honor to receive the letter of the 24th of this month by which Your Excellency made known to me that your Government is happy to see the Haitian Government renew the assurance that the Haitian member of the Claims Commission will be nominated within 8 days after the contract of the loan shall have been signed.
My Government takes note of your communication on this subject.
[Page 512]In that which concerns the emission of the interior obligations I am charged to inform Your Excellency that conforming to the suggestion made by the Department of State, the Haitian Government will submit to the Council of State, in the first week of its extraordinary session beginning the 4th September next, a project to have [of?] law authorizing the new obligation and regulating the condition of emission.
The question being thus regulated, my Government has the hope that the Department of State will proceed immediately to obtaining offers for the emission of the exterior obligations.”
