File No. 3691/412.
The President of Salvador to President Roosevelt.
Animated by desires identical with those expressed to Your Excellency by President Zelaya, I take pleasure in confirming to you that, for my part, I am ready to attend in person the conference at Amapala to which I am invited by that functionary to adjust with him the concrete bases that may secure permanent tranquillity for our countries. I extend to Your Excellency my most earnest thanks for the assurance you give me, jointly with General Diaz, that there shall be no hostile demonstration of the Nicaraguan forces in Honduras, and I now hereby make the offer that the concentration of the forces of this Republic shall be effected simultaneously with that of the forces of Guatemala and Nicaragua in the manner that may be agreed upon. I further accept with thanks your generous offer of the S. S. Chicago to take me to Amapala. Once more Your Excellency’s friendly cooperation in the cause of Central American peace will be received by the people and governments with expressions of gratefulness and with the gratitude of Your Excellency’s servant.
