File No. 3691/383.
President Roosevelt to the President of Salvador.
I deeply appreciate your message of 8th instant. I am advised today by message from Mr. Brown, and by a communication from Nicaraguan chargé, that peace is assured and that Your Excellency and President Zelaya are to confer at Amapala in person in behalf of lasting peace. I shall be most thankful if the hospitality of our war ships can serve to carry out this welcome purpose, and have directed that the Chicago be placed at the disposal of yourself and President Zelaya. Responding to a suggestion from President Zelaya and relying upon his assurance that war is ended, I offer, jointly with the President of Mexico, to undertake to procure that there shall be no unfriendly agitation on the frontier by the forces of Salvador and Guatemala, which shall be withdrawn forthwith, similar assurances being given with your consent by President Diaz and myself to the Presidents of Nicaragua and Guatemala.
