Letter

Adolfo Zuniga to To His Excellency Mr. George Williamson, March 22, 1875

[Inclosure 2 in No. 322.—Translation.]

Mr. Zuniga to Mr. Williamson

Sir: The undersigned, secretary of state and minister of foreign affairs of the government of Honduras, has the honor to direct himself, in compliance with what was considered and agreed upon in the protocol signed this day, to his excellency Mr. George Williamson, minister resident of the United States, reiterating to him that the government of Honduras deplores and condemns the outrage committed on the American consulate at Omoa on or about the 9th day of July, 1873, by troops of Honduras stationed at Omoa, or by people of Omoa.

The undersigned allows himself to repeat to the minister of the United States that the overthrow of the government presided over by Señor Arias, and under whose orders General Straeber acted, is the best satisfaction that the government and people of Honduras can give to the Government of the United States.

The undersigned embraces the hope and has the profound conviction that the Government of the United States will feel itself satisfied from the deferential proofs of justice which the government of Honduras has given on this disagreeable incident for which it has so much felt.

Repeating to his excellency Senor Williamson, minister of the United States, the high considerations of esteem with which I subscribe myself as his most attentive and obedient servant,

ADOLFO ZUNIGA.

To His Excellency Mr. George Williamson, Minister Resident of the United States in Central America.
