Mr. Seward to Mr. Romero
Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 4th instant, marked extra official, enclosing a copy of the circular addressed by you to the several governors of the Mexican States at the time of transmission to them of “the collection of documents on Mexican affairs during the late war with France, published by order of the government of the United States,” for which be pleased to accept my thanks. I am gratified to see that you have so disposed of the collection that it may come to the knowledge of the Mexican people and furnish interesting materials of history. I am, my dear sir, your obedient servant,
Señor Don Matias Romero, &c., &c., &c.
