The Secretary of the Navy ( Denby ) to the Secretary of State

My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am in receipt of your letter of July 1st63 acquainting me with the situation at Tampico. The Department has ordered the Sacramento from Galveston to proceed immediately [Page 449] to Tampico where she should arrive on Monday. Another ship has been ordered up from the Canal Zone and I hope the force present will be sufficient to prevent any trouble.

Yours sincerely,

Edwin Denby
