Mr. Romero to Mr. Seward

Washington, February 1, 1867.

MY Dear Sir: Having sent yesterday a telegraphic despatch to the Mexican consul at San Francisco, California, asking for reliable information on the reported execution of Mr. Carman and bombardment of Mazatlan, I have just received an answer denying those rumors. I enclose to you for your information a copy of that answer.

I am, sir, very truly, your obedient servant,

M. ROMERO.

Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.

[San Francisco, California, dated 1st.—Received February 1, 1867—1.50 p. m.]

Mr. Godoy to Mr. Romero

Señor Don Matias Romero, Mexican Minister:

The news false. I have letters from Mazatlan of January 29.

J. A. GODOY.
