The Secretary of State to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Guatemala.

[Telegram.]

I have the honor to acknowledge your excellency’s telegram of the 11th in regard to efforts for peace in Central America. A telegram sent to Mr. Combs yesterday before the arrival of your message will doubtless by this time have been communicated to you, showing the efforts now being made by the Presidents of the United States and Mexico. We earnestly hope for the cooperation of Guatemala in the same direction.

Elihu Root.
