Señor Romero to Mr. Frelinghuysen.
Washington, July 21, 1882. (Received July 21.)
Mr. Secretary: I have this day had the honor to receive your note bearing date of yesterday, in which, referring to the communications recently exchanged between us relative to the depredations of the band of hostile Indians under the leadership of Chief Ju, which was destroyed by the Mexican forces in the woods of San Diego, you were pleased to inclose to me, thinking that it might be of interest to me and to my government, a copy of a memorandum presented to the Secretary of War in respect to the movements of the North American forces [Page 437] and to the co-operation of the Mexican troops before the destruction of the said band.
In reply I have the honor to inform you that I have read the memorandum inclosed in your aforesaid note with great interest; that I have already sent a copy and a translation of it to the Government of the United States of Mexico; and that I thank you most warmly for your attention in sending me a copy of said memorandum.
I avail, &c.,
