The Minister in Nicaragua (Long) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:52 p.m.]
170. Department’s 80. I have received note from Minister for Foreign Affairs which does not raise the question of recognition. It states the facts regarding the change of government and closes with these words:
“In carrying out the duties with which the President has honored me, I shall take special pleasure in cooperating in every endeavor to make closer the ties of fraternal friendship which happily unite our respective Governments and peoples.”
I plan to acknowledge receipt of the note tomorrow noon in the following terms:
“I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s note No. 67/36 of June 10, 1936, informing me of the changes that [Page 842] have taken place in the Government of Nicaragua as a result of the resignation of the Honorable Dr. Juan B. Sacasa as President and the Honorable Dr. Rodolfo Espinosa E. as Vice President. I thank Your Excellency for the courteous note and warmly reciprocate the cordial sentiments contained therein.”
