The Minister of Guatemala to the Secretary of State .
Washington , November 3rd, 1915 .
Excellency: I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency’s note of to-day, in which your excellency suggests, that as it was not possible to complete the International Commission provided for in the Treaty of September 20, 1913, between the United States and Guatemala, looking to the advancement of the general cause of peace, within the time specified in the treaty, which expired February 13, 1915, that the time within which the organization of the Commission may be completed be extended by an exchange of notes from February 13, 1915, to January 1, 1916.
In answer to your excellency’s note, I beg to state that the Government of Guatemala receives the suggestion most favourably, and I therefore believe that this answer of mine in the name of my Government can be regarded as the completing of the exchange of notes.
I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to your excellency the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.
