File No. 6775/126.
The President of Nicaragua to President Roosevelt.
I have had the honor to receive Your Excellency’s courteous telegram by which you are pleased to inform me that the generous initiative of Your Excellency and of the President of Mexico in favor of a Central American Peace Congress has been favorably received by the other Presidents of Central America. No other outcome could be looked for in the presence of the noble spirit of humanity which prompted your fraternal and timely mediation. For the growing interest with which Your Excellency always looks after the welfare of our countries I renew my thanks to you, and it affords me gratification to assure you that the representatives who are to take part in the conference that will be held in Washington for the high purpose of establishing, on a solid and durable foundation, the peace so necessary to the advancement of our Republics, will be appointed in good time, and it affords me even much greater pleasure to say to Your Excellency that all the political well-being that will unquestionably be the outcome of those conferences will be mainly due to your spontaneous and efficient cooperation in the cause of their tranquillity and future.
