Letter

C. Matias Romero to Frederick W. Seward, November 16, 1866

[Translation.]

Señor Romero to Mr. F. W. Seward

Unofficial]

My Dear Sir: Fulfilling the offer I made you some time since, to obtain authentic intelligence from my government about the reported shooting of a son of the Marquis de Montholon, I wrote at once for that purpose to Mr. Lerdo de Tejada, who has replied to me, contradicting that rumor, as you will see in the letter (of which I send you a copy with this note) which that gentleman sent me on the subject under date of 20th of October last.

I remain your very respectful and obedient servant,

M. ROMERO.

Hon. Frederick W. Seward, &c., & c., & c.
