The Diet of the Greater Republic of Central America to His Excellency the President of the United States of America.

Great and Good Friend: The Republics of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Salvador, by a treaty concluded in the port of Amapala, Honduras, on the 20th day of June, 1895, which was ratified by the respective legislative bodies of the three Republics, and the ratifications of which were exchanged in this city on the 15th instant, agreed to form a single political organization for the exercise of their external sovereignty, with the title of the Greater Republic of Central America, to be represented by a diet composed of three members, elected by each of the legislative bodies.

The undersigned, having been honored by being chosen as such representatives, deem it to be their just duty to inform your excellency of the change which has been effected and of their firm purpose to continue to cultivate, with the utmost diligence, the cordial relations which have existed between the United States of America and the signatory Republics individually. They further desire to inform you that all obligations contracted by each one of them will be religiously fulfilled, provided that they are not incompatible with the new political organization which has been adopted.

With best wishes for the prosperity of the North American nation and for your excellency’s personal happiness, the undersigned have the honor, etc.,

[seal.]
Jacinto Castellanos.
