E.
Sir: I have seen the president since my interview with yourself and Mr. Giles this morning, and having taken into consideration your explanations in relation to your interview with Mr. Oldham, and the other facts stated by you, the president is satisfied that your conversation with Mr. Oldham was not prompted by any hostility to this government, and that you are not connected with the intrigue known to exist having for its object to induce the withdrawal of the State of Texas from this confederacy. You will therefore consider the order to depart from the confederacy as withdrawn, and you will remain at liberty to reside here as heretofore.
Your obedient servant,
Monsieur Taboulle, at French Consulate, Richmond.
