On my return to Washin^on may I bo per¬ 
mitted to write to express to you my sincere appreciation 
for the courtesies that I received during my recent visit ’ 
in Cuba, when I was able to stop there briefly while en- 
route to Hew lork from Costa Rica*

I have to thank you especially for the 
friendly greeting extended to me by the Introductor de 
Embajadorea, Dr. Rodriguez )Capote“. I regretted indeed 
that the hour of sailing of ny steamer did not permit time 
for me to visit you that I might express this in person*

I have many friends in Cuba and lode forward 
to return at some future time to your delightful country 
that I may know more of it*
