The President of Honduras to the President.
Great and Good Friend: The Government of Honduras, gratified with the visit which his excellency the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Mr. Philander C. Knox, made to this [Page 631] Republic last March, which Honduras considers to evidence the perfect harmony and friendly relations existing between the two countries; and desiring to express to the Government of the United States the grateful appreciation by Honduras of that significant display of cordiality—I have accredited Doctor D. Alberto Membreño as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Honduras, on Special Mission to the Government over which Your Excellency presides.
The commendable qualities that distinguish Doctor Membreño, and his sympathies for that great Republic, cause me to hope that he will be cordially received by Your Excellency’s Government.
With the heartiest wishes for the increasing prosperity of that Republic and for the personal welfare of Your Excellency, I am Your Excellency’s
Loyal and good Friend,
