transandine telegraph.
Buenos Ayres, Hotel Paix, July 26, 1872.
My Dear Sir: While I hear the booming of guns, the ringing of bells, and the rejoicing of multitudes on this eventful day, allow me to offer you my warmest congratulations that your great enterprise has been crowned with success; that the populations of the east and west are thus brought together; that the formidable barrier of the Andes has thus been overcome, and this republic will owe you an eternal debt of gratitude for this immense boon you have just conferred upon them.
Accept my best wishes.
W. WHEELWRIGHT.
J. Clark, Esq.
