Berne, June 1, 1886. .
UNDER date of the 6th November, 1885, we had the honour to address to your Excellency certain number of copies of the "Records of the Second International Conference for the protection of Literary and Artistic Works, held at Berne from the 7th to the 18th September, 1885," and to invite you, at the same time, to be represented at a new Conference to be held at Bernie in September 1886, with a view to the signature of the Convention elaborated at the Conference of 1885, and thus to transform the said Convention into a diplomatic instrument.
We have now the honour to apprise your Excellency that, according to the information which has reached us, the draft Convention has been favourably received. Consequently, the meeting of the new Conference has been fixed for the 6th September, 1886, and will be held at Berne in the hall of the Council of States at 11 o'clock A.M.
We trust that your Excellency will be represented thereat, and in this hope we beg your Excellency to be so good as to indicate to us the name of your Delegate, and to furnish him with the necessary full powers to sign the Convention.
We avail, &c.
