Sir: I have the honor to refer to your note of the 11th ultimo, in which the offer is made to return the horses and other property belonging to certain citizens of the United States who were detained lately at Janos, Mexico, and to say that the Department is to-day informed that Mr. J.

I will thank you to make the necessary request of the Mexican authorities, and at the same time you will add to the Department’s obligation in this matter if you will have the kindness to telegraph those authorities.

Accept, etc.,
