Letter

Edward L. Plumb to R. Juanes y Patrullo, February 21, 1868

[Untitled]

Sir: Your two communications of the 5th and 9th of January reached me only on the 17th instant.

As the rebellion in Yucatan has now happily been suppressed by the commendable vigor of this government, it is unnecessary for me to enter into the questions relating thereto, raised in your letters.

It is very clear the interests of our commerce with this country will be promoted, if this government shall be able, as I trust will be the case hereafter, promptly to crush all attempts that may be made to subvert the constitutional order.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

E. L. PLUMB.

R. Juanes y Patrullo, Esq., United States Consul, Merida.
