Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, Accompanying the Annual Message of the President to the Second Session of the Fortieth Congress

Mr. Seward to Mr. Romero

Department of Stats, June 21, 1867.

My Dear Mr. Romero: I am authorised to inform President Juarez that the Emperor of Austria will at once re-establish Prince Maximilian in all his rights of succession as Archduke of Austria, upon Maximilian’s release and renouncing forever all projects in Mexico.

Will you oblige me by conveying this message by telegraph to President Juarez for his information, with my request that if compatible he will communicate the same to Prince Maximilian for his information ?

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

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Señor Don Matias Romero, &c., &c., &c.
