The President of Guatemala to President Roosevelt.
Once more placed under obligation by Your Excellency’s laudable efforts in the cause of peace in Central America, I find in the protocol of the forthcoming conference the realization of Your Excellency’s generous plan to insure perfect tranquillity in the countries of the Isthmus and the auspicious forerunner of the legitimate results that can not fail to be obtained, and as article two of the said protocol provides that Your Excellency will be represented in the conference that is to meet at the capital of Washington in the first fifteen days of the coming month of November, I have pleasure in inviting Your Excellency to be pleased, if you see fit, to appoint your representatives in order that they may, in the capacity stated in the said protocol, extend their impartial good offices toward achieving the purposes of the said conference. Most sincerely thanking Your Excellency in advance for the acceptance which I have no doubt you will deign to vouchsafe to this invitation, I renew to you the assurance of my most distinguished and high consideration.
