The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Venezuela to the Secretary of State.
I hasten to express to your excellency my Government’s gratitude for the justice doing words in which your excellency feelingly evinces your own and the United States Government’s sorrow for the death of our Minister Rojas. I beg your excellency to convey to His Excellency the President of the United States the lasting appreciation with which the President of Venezuela responds to the tribute paid to the memory of one to whose gifts as a statesman and perfect gentleman our Government entrusted the duty of ever making closer and deeper the friendship that so happily binds our nations to each other.
