James A. Williamson to His Excellency, April 17, 1877

Sir: I beg leave to call your attention to the discrepancy between the letter-postage as stated in the “Tarifa jeneral de porte de corespondencia,” published in the latest number of the “Guatirnalteco,” “Periódico oficial,” under the heading “American,” and the rates established by the postal convention of July 16, 1862, between the United States and Guatemala. The convention being still in force, I have no doubt the discrepancy arises from a misprint or inadvertence.

Renewing to you the assurance pf my high consideration, I have the pleasure of being, your excellency’s obedient servant,
