Letter

Cirilo Molina Y Cros to General Contreras, July 23, 1873

[Inclosure H.—Appendix to Mr. Molina’s letter.—Translation.]

Mr. Cirilo Molina to General Contreras.

General: I have received the communication you are pleased to address me under to-day’s date, accompanied by a document which you request me to transmit to my government, which I hasten to do forthwith. Up to this time I have received no communication from my government concerning the decree of the minister of marine, of date 20th instant, published in the papers, and to which you refer in your communication.

Until either I or the commanders of the war vessels of my nation receive instructions, you may rest assured of the amplest neutrality on my part.

Receive, general, the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.

CIRILO MOLINA y CROS.
