Senhor F. Franco de Sá to Mr. Osborn

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rio de Janeiro, February 8, 1882.

I had the honor to receive the note that Mr. Thomas A. Osborn, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, was pleased to address to me, on the 3d instant, confirming the invitation which, in the conference of the same day, he made in the name of His Excellency the President of the same States, to the effect that Brazil may send two commissioners to the Congress to be held at Washington the 22d of November to consider and discuss the means of averting war between the States of America.

In response to this note I have the satisfaction of communicating to Mr. Osborn that His Majesty the Emperor, in accord with his ministers, resolved to accept the said invitation, and that, consequently, Brazil will be represented at the Congress that is projected, in conformity with the terms of the dispatch of the American Government of which you, Mr. Minister, had the goodness to leave me a copy.

I approve, &c.,

F. FRANCO de SA.
