Mr. Biddle to Mr. Caceres

Legation of the United States, San Salvador, December 12, 1872.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 11th instant, conveying the painful intelligence of the death of the eminent statesman Señor Doctor Don Gregorio Arbizu, who has for so long a period and so ably conducted the ministry of foreign relations of Salvador.

The various treaties between your republic and foreign powers negotiated by him will be living monuments to his fame for succeeding generations, and, with the illustrious Don Manuel Mendez, his name will be inscribed on the roll of honor as of those who have devoted genius, labor, fortune, and life on the altar of their country.

Transmitting the sad information to my Government, as you have requested, with the fullest expressions of condolence, and of my highest consideration,

I have, &c.,

THOMAS BIDDLE.
Señor Don Manuel Caceres, Acting Minister of Foreign Relations of Salvador.
