With regard to what H.E. says about mutual respect,
I would remind H.E. that I said to him at our interview, that the
question could be arranged, if approached by both parties in a
friendly spirit, but that, if each adhered to his own view, it
would be difficult to arrive at a settlement. This is what I understand by cordial relations and mutual respect, and I have never
in any way slighted H.E.
I beg you to inform H.E. that it is only reciprocal
friendliness that can conduce to the mutual respect H.E. alludes to.
I have &c.,
(Seal of Viceroy)
