I shall have much pleasure in personally communicating its contents to the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Mouravieff, at his usual weekly reception this afternoon, feeling assured that he will express his high appreciation of the sympathy entertained by the President for the noble desire of His Imperial Majesty in furtherance of national economy and international peace, and that he will also express his great gratification at the decision of the President to send a representative to the proposed international conference,

I have, etc.,
