Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 7, 1874

No. 81.
Mr. Williamson to Mr. Fish.

United States Legation in Central America,
Punta Arenas, December 10, 1873. (Received December 30.)

No. 71.]

Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I had the good fortune to find President Guardia here and ready for an interview. After giving him notice, I called and submitted to him my suggestion that the five (or four) Presidents of Central America should meet, with a view of discussing and settling their affairs. He acceded without hesitation. I have barely time to report the fact, as the steamer leaves again in a few moments. It is probable I shall not go to San José, but will return by next steamer to Guatemala.

I have, &c.,

GEO. WILLIAMSON.
