Señor Licenciado Don A. H. Rivas to Geo. Williamson, January 20, 1875

Mr. Rivas to Mr. Williamson.

Sir: I have the honor of inclosing to your excellency a certified copy of the declaration of Congress of the election of the future President of the republic.

The honorable precedents of Mr. Chamorro, and his known principles in favor of the progress of his country and of the respect due to other nations, guarantee that, during his term of office, will be maintained and developed the good relations that happily exist between this republic and the nation so honorably represented by your excellency. So it is that I am gratified in thinking that that declaration of the national vote will be received with pleasure by your excellency.

The 1st of March next, at one o’clock, will take place the solemn act of the inauguration of the new President, and it is pleasant to me to make known to your excellency that the entire country and its government will feel honored if that solemnity can be attended by your excellency.

I take this opportunity to renew to your excellency the assurance of my profound respect and of my distinguished consideration.
