To his Excellency Marco A. Soto to To his Excellency the Hon. Geo. Williamson, October 4, 1873

Señor Soto to Mr. Williamson.

Señor: I have the honor to inclose to yon the certified report of Señor Don Delfino Sanchez, our consul at the establishment of Belize. From this document you will be able to inform yourself concerning the principal facts of Pallacio’s expedition, and especially the facts concerning the abuse of the American flag and of the strange behavior of the American vice-consul. I hope that you will transmit the report to your Government, and in the meanwhile, with your known disposition for justice, you will take whatever steps in your power to put a stop to the evils occasioned to the governments of Guatemala and Honduras by the expedition, which is assisted, directly Or indirectly, by agents and citizens of the nation which you so worthily represent.

With the most distinguished consideration, I have the pleasure to subscribe myself your humble servant,
