[Translation.]
Mr. Geofroy to Mr. Seward
Legation of France to the United States, Washington, July 8, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to communicate to you the extract from the despatch of his Majesty’s consul at San Francisco, which points out to me shipments of powder and arms to Mexico, which would take place from California, at the instigation of an agent of Juarez, named Vega, and I beg your excellency will be so good as to address to the authorities of that State orders analogous to those which stopped in Louisiana movements of the like nature.
Accept, sir, the assurance of my high consideration.
L. DE GEOFROY.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c, &c., &c.
