New York, June 26, 1866.
His excellency honorable William H. Seward will please receive Captain H. S. Eyting as an envoy on most important business of mutual interests to the two republics, the United States and Mexico.
Captain H. S. Eyting is accredited with full powers to act as if I were present, and I hereby confirm all treaties made by him for myself.
I trust the honorable Secretary of State will discover in the proposals of my envoy cause of great interest and advantage to the United States, and trusting they may meet with favorable attention, I ask for my envoy and the propositions from myself, through him, the heartiest protection.
With sentiments of my most distinguished regard, I am faithfully yours fraternally,
A. L. DE STA. ANNA.
