The President to the President of Honduras.
Washington, July 5, 1912.
Great and Good Friend: I have received from the hands of Señor Doctor Alberto Membreño Your Excellency’s letter of the 5th of June last, in which you gave expression to the pleasure which the people of Honduras felt at the recent visit to your capital of Philander C. Knox, Secretary of State of the United States of America.
I cordially reciprocate the sentiments of friendship and good will which you in the name of the people of Honduras conveyed to me, and I assure you that the Government and people of the United States appreciate the friendly spirit shown towards the United States by the kindly and courteous manner in which Mr. Knox’s visit was received.
