My dear Mr. President:
I have received your kind letter of December fifth and
I greatly appreciated your thoughtfulness in writing to me as you
did. I was glad to be able to appoint the Special Mission to your
inauguration, and it is good to have your generous comment on its
participation. I was also very pleased that the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Honorable John Snyder, was able to accept your kind
invitation with my wholehearted approval to be present at the
inaugural ceremonies.
I
am delighted to accept your courteous and friendly
invitation to visit your great nation. Depending upon circumstances
prevailing at the time, I should like to make the visit for a few
days sometime during the period between February fifteenth and March
fifteenth next, the details of which can be worked out at a later
date.
In addition to visiting Mexico City for two days if that
meets with your approval, I should like to spend approximately a
week making informalivisits to some of the other areas of Mexico,
and your suggestion regarding the opportunity to fish at Acapulco
interests me greatly.
During the visit to your nation's capital, I plan to reside
at the United States Embassy.
It affords me great pleasure to extend to you a cordial
invitation to repay my visit as soon as practicable and at a time
which will be convenient to you. It occurs to me that subject to your
approval, sometime during April would be a very suitable time for you
to come to Washington as the official guest of the Government of the
United States.
I take this opportunity to renew to you, Mr. President, the
assurances of my highest consideration and cordial friendship.
Very sincerely yours,
His Excellency
(Sgd) HARRY S. TRUMAN
Licenciado Miguel Aleman,
President of the
United Mexican States,
Mexico, D. F.
