Mr. Seward to Mr. Romero
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 9th instant, in reply to my communication of the 29th ultimo, relative to the request made by Baron Gerolt, the minister of Prusia, in behalf of Prince Salm-Salm, recently made prisoner at Queretaro, and the subsequent friendly interposition solicited, in the same connection, by the government of the United States for that person.
A copy of your letter has this day been communicated to Baron Gerolt.
You will be pleased to accept my acknowledgments for the promptness with which you have made known the wishes of the government of the United States to that of Mexico on this subject.
I am, sir, with the highest consideration, your very obedient servant,
Señor Don Matias Romero, &c., &c., &c.
