Hall to Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua, September 9, 1882

Mr. Hall to Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua.

Sir: Through the medium of this legation, the President of the United States, some months since, extended to the several governments of the Central American republics an invitation to be represented in a general Congress of American states, which it was proposed to hold in Washington on the 22d of November next. That invitation was communicated to your excellency on the 4th January last, and its receipt was acknowledged under date of 14th February; I find no other communication on the subject from your excellency on the files of this office. The Secretary of State no w instructs me to inform the governments of the Republics of Central America that the meeting of the projected Congress has been postponed until some future day. The reasons therefor are set forth in the accompanying copy of his dispatch of the 9th ultimo, addressed to this legation, and which by his instruction, also, I have the honor to transmit to your excellency.

I embrace, &c.,
