Mr. Seward to Mr. Romero
Sir: I have had the honor to receive your note of the 30th ultimo, in reference to the box containing a medal intended as a present to the late General Zaragoza, of the Mexican army, from the citizens of Montevideo, and advising me of the disposition you have made of said box since it came into your possession, in October last.
The letter which accompanied your note, addressed to the consul general of the Oriental republic of Montevideo, Don Mariano de Espinosa, will, as you request, be transmitted to its destination, through the minister of the United States accredited to the Argentine Republic, with instructions to deliver it to that gentleman.
I avail myself of the occasion to renew the assurances of my very distinguished consideration.
Señor Matias Romero, &c., &c., &c. Washington, D. G.
