Sir: I have the honor to inform your excellency that the Hon. Felipe Zapata has been nominated envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary near the Governments of the United States of America, France, and England, and that such nomination has obtained the approbation of the senate of plenipotentiaries.
Mr. Zapata will depart in a few days for his destination, and the executive power entertains the hope that the designation which he has made in him, for the representation of this government near that of the United States, may be as agreeable there as to your excellency here.
With sentiments of particular consideration, I subscribe myself your excellency’s very attentive and obedient servant,
R. SANTO DOMINGO VILA,
