Mr. Taylor to Mr. Gresham.
Madrid, March 2, 1894. (Received March 15.)
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 95, of the 14th ultimo, concerning the Mora claim, in which you inclose the draft of a proposed convention, and also the draft of a proposed clause to be added to article 1. It is exceedingly gratifying to me to know that my presentation of the case to the minister of state meets with your approval. Last night I had the honor of entertaining Señor Moret at a dinner party given at my house in his honor. After dinner I informed him that I had just received a draft of the proposed convention, which he had requested you to prepare and submit to him, and that I was ready to call upon him for that purpose at any time that he would designate. He assured me that within the next two or three days he would summon me for the interview.
I am, etc.,
