Rafael Zaldivar to the diplomatic corps, April 14, 1885
[Inclosure 1 in No. 338.—Translation.]
President Zaldivar to the diplomatic corps.
Santa Ana, April 14, 1885.
As you will readily understand, every hour that passes in this state of war involves sacrifices and difficulties that we should endeavor to terminate as soon as possible, and being already in accord as to the declaration of peace, I take the liberty to submit, through your worthy mediation, to the Government of Guatemala the project of a decree relating to this matter, trusting that, if it should be accepted, I may be informed of the day on which it can be published by both Governments. I have also communicated it to the Governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, inviting them to adopt an identical determination.
I am, &c.,
RAFAEL ZALDIVAR.
