Señor Romero to Mr. Seward
Washington,
July 31, 1866.
My Dear Sir: I have the honor to send you a number of the Temps, of Paris, published the 17th of this month, in which you will find a paragraph taken from the Memorial de la Loire, of the 14th, stating that a new detachment of the so-called Foreign Legion, of Mexico, passed through that city on the 13th, from Aix, going to embark at St. Nazaire for Vera Cruz.
Most respectfully, your very obedient servant,
M. ROMERO.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
