Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, June 27, 1876. President Grant authorizes and directs the Secretary of State to affix the Seal of the United States to "my ratification of a Convention between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic signed on the 29th April, 1876." Boldly signed at the conclusion in ink by President Ulysses S. Grant. In fine condition.
Entitled 'Convention Extending Functions of the Umpire of the Joint Commission for the Settlement of Claims until November 20, 1876,' and concluded on April 29, 1876, the convention was established to allow more time for the completion of pending claims being reviewed by the umpire appointed in the event of disagreement between U.S. and Mexican commissioners. An original 1868 convention created a mixed commission to resolve claims by citizens of each country for losses or injuries suffered due to the actions of the other government. However, due to the large volume and complexity of the cases, additional time was needed for the umpire to finish his decisions. The 1876 agreement granted an extension of the umpire's authority and set a new deadline for the final disposition of all remaining claims, ensuring that the process would be brought to completion in an orderly and authorized manner.
