The Secretary of State to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Guatemala.
Washington, December 23, 1907.
I have the honor to acknowledge with grateful appreciation your excellency’s dispatch of the 21st and to reciprocate congratulation to you and through you to the people and Government of Guatemala upon the high-minded and patriotic course followed by your Government and your most worthy representatives in the recent peace conference for the common good of Guatemala and of all the Central American Republics. It is a cause of great gratification to the Government of the United States that Washington should have been the theater of a conference which has resulted in such advanced and humanitarian agreements.
