Foster to Hamilton Fish, March 8, 1876
No. 210. Mr. Foster to Mr. Fish.
Legation of the United States, Mexico, March 8, 1876. (Received March 27, 1876.)
No. 389.]
Sir: I have received a note from the acting minister of foreign affairs, dated the 29th ultimo, of which I inclose a copy, in which he informs me that his government has decided upon the removal of the Indians now in the State of Chihuahua, from the Rio Grande border to Mapimi, a point distant from the frontier, where they may be better guarded.
Regarding this action as highly conducive to the peace of that frontier, in acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Arias’ note, I took occasion to tender to his government thanks for its resolution.
I am, sir, &c.,
JOHN W. FOSTER.
