[Translation] MINISTRY OF FOREIGN RELATIONS UNITED MEXICAN STATES MEXICO CITY 510040 MEXICO CITY, December 12, 1942. Mr. AMBASSADOR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's very courteous note no. 853, of the 11th of this month, relative to the interpretation which-in your opinion--should be given to the word "suite" used in the Consular Convention of August 12, 1942. I have taken note that the Government of the United States of America is in agreement that, in the case of importations made by a person of the suite of a consular official, they shall be made in order to enjoy the exemptions to which the above-mentioned international instrument refers-in the name of the said representative or under his supervision. In view of the negotiations on this subject conducted between this Ministry and the Embassy worthily in your charge, and bearing in mind, moreover, that the proposal of the American Government fulfils, in principle, the purpose which I sought in making to Your Excellency the suggestion contained in my note of September 29, last, I take pleasure in informing you that the interpretation to which I refer has the acceptance of my Government. I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration. E. PADILLA His Excellency GEORGE S. MESSERSMITH, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, City. 823
