The Chilean Foreign Office to the Chilean Minister.

[Copy handed to Secretary Root by Chilean minister.]

March 14—5.40 p.m.

On behalf of the Government, you will please invite very cordially the Secretary of State, Mr. Root, to come and visit our country. You will assure him that his visit will be a great satisfaction for us. This invitation had not been tendered before because we thought that Mr. Root would not come farther than Rio Janeiro.

Puga Borne.
