Mr. Neill to Señor Larrabrue.

Legation of the United States,
Lima, July 27, 1892.

Mr. Minister: I would respectfully call the attention of your excellency to the various notes from this legation as to the character of the claim known as the Hydro-graphic Commission of the Amazon.

I would earnestly request your excellency to have this claim again presented before the honorable Congress of Peru during the present session for its early consideration.

I express the hope that some action will soon be taken to facilitate the early and final settlement of this long-pending claim of citizens of the United States upon the Government of Peru.

I have, etc.,

Richard R. Neill.
