Enclosure 1.
Hongkong, 28th April, 1920.
25.
Sir,
I have the honour to inform you and, through
your courtesy, His Excellency the Governor, that I have received a letter signed by His Excellency the Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Guatemala (enclosed herewith) in which it is stated that, according to a Presidential Mandate, I have been appointed Consul of Guatemala in Hongkong and that my Commission (Lettres Patentes) have been forwarded to the Honourable Chargé d'Affaires of Guatemala in Paris, who, I believe, is in the meantime Chargé d'Affaires in England, in order to obtain His Britannic Majesty's Exequatur and send both documents to me.
Having acted as Consul for Guatemala in Hongkong during five consecutive years, and being the desire of the Guatemalean Government that I should take over my duties as Consul as soon as possible, I beg to request from His Excellency the Governor my provisional recognition as Consul for Guatemala in Hongkong pending reception of His Britannic Majesty's Exequatur.
The Honourable
The Colonial Secretary,
Hongkong.
I have, etc.
Sd.
José C. de Obaldia.
