No 96.]

Sir: I have received your No. 116, of the 14th ultimo, relative to the recent troubles at Nogales.

The Department is pleased to notice the friendly tone of Mr. Mariscal’s private letter to you, and it is hoped that his official note, soon to be written, and the prompt and thorough punishment of Gutierrez will terminate the Nogales incident.

I am, etc.,

T. F. Bayard.
