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

Mr. Hunter to Mr. Romero

Department of State, Washington, July 27, 1867.

Sir: This department has been urged by parties interested in the trade to and from the port of Libertad, in the State of Sonora, and especially by citizens of California, to request the Mexican government to make that a port of entry for foreign commerce. You will consequently confer a favor if you will bring the subject to the notice of your government, with whose views of expediency it is hoped that the proposed measure may comport.

I avail myself of the occasion, sir, to offer to you a renewed assurance of my high consideration.

W. HUNTER, Acting Secretary,

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