Letter

Rafael Zaldivar to Hall, April 13, 1885

[Inclosure 9 in No. 337.]

President Zaldivar to Mr. Hall.

I thank you for your good offices. Considering the friendly disposition of the Government of Guatemala and my own, I have no doubt it would be feasible to come to an honorable settlement, and as upon this depend so many interests, I would like that by telegraph we fix upon the principal bases, so that not only hostilities may be suspended, but also the movement of forces.

Men of order in all Central America will notice with gratitude the efforts of yourself and of the honorable diplomatic corps in favor of peace, and hoping that you will communicate to me whatever may be done to retain it,

I remain, &c.,

RAFAEL ZALDIVAR.
