Letter

Rafael Zaldivar to Hall, April 11, 1885

[Inclosure 6 in No. 337.—Translation.]

President Zaldivar to Mr. Hall.

I suppose you have already received my reply to the telegram of the diplomatic corps, dated the 3d instant. I repeat it under cover, adding that I have not provoked these hostilities, nor do I refuse to terminate them through a worthy and honorable settlement. I only demand to have faith in such a settlement, that in addition to the guarantee of the diplomatic corps that another should be given to this Government and to its allies by the presence of a new and independent personnel in the cabinet of Guatemala. I trust that the bases they may propose will be communicated to me by telegraph.

I am, &c.,

RAFAEL ZALDIVAR.
