File No. 723.2515/275.
The Minister of Peru at Washington to the Secretary of State.
Washington, November 11, 1912.
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that my Government has advised me by cable that it has decided to reestablish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Chile and that this will be effected by the simultaneous appointment by both nations of Ministers Plenipotentiary to the other.
I feel certain that this information will be specially welcome to the President because during his term of office he has distinguished himself as a friend of peace and good-will among the nations, and I beg you to tell him that Peru in acting thus gives another proof of its decided love of peace.
Accept [etc.]
