Mr. Cairoli to Mr. Marsh.

Rome, June 22, 1878.

Mr. Minister: By a note of the 6th of April last, your excellency, in the name of the President of the United States, invited His Majesty’s Government to take part in a conference, with the object of establishing a fixed common ratio between gold and silver as coin or money of exchange.

The proposal of President Hayes has been the subject of a careful examination, and I have now the honor to inform you that His Majesty’s Government is disposed to accept the invitation of the cabinet of Washington; and in requesting you to inform your government of this decision, I at the same time express the hope that you will be pleased to communicate to me the conclusion that shall be adopted respecting the place and time of the meeting of the conference.

Accept, Mr. Minister, the assurance of my high consideration.

CAIROLI.
Mr. George P. Marsh, Minister of the United States, Rome.
