The President of the International Railways of Central America (Keith) to the Secretary of State

New York, October 18, 1927.
[Received October 25.]

Sir: The International Railways of Central America recently succeeded in arranging with the Government of Guatemala a settlement of the debt of $2,500,000. owed by that nation to this company for some years past.

I wish to thank you for the co-operation extended by your Department, and the able assistance rendered by the American Minister in Guatemala during the negotiations leading to the settlement.

We feel that without such co-operation and assistance, it is unlikely that a settlement would have been reached.

Yours very truly,

Minor C. Keith
