Edward Lee Plumb to William H. Seward, February 14, 1868

Mr. Plumb to Mr. Seward.

Sir: Referring to my dispatches Nos. 65 and 77, and the correspondence inclosed therewith, I have now to transmit, for the information of the department, translations from the Diario Oficial, showing that the steps proposed to be taken by this government with regard to the funds in the hands of the agents of the bondholders, under the English and Spanish convention debts, have been carried into effect, and that the public sale therein referred to has taken place.

Translations of the final replies of the agents of the bondholders are also transmitted herewith.

I have not yet learned of any provision having been made for the payment of the principal of, or the interest upon, American claims.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
