Letter
Foster to José Anocencio Arias, March 8, 1876
[Inclosure 2 in No. 389.]
Mr. Foster to Mr. Arias.
Legation of the United States, Mexico, March 8, 1876.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your honor’s note of the 29th ultimo, in which you inform me of the resolution of your government to remove the Indians now in the State of Chihuahua, near the frontier of the United States, to Mapimi, a point distant from the Rio Grande border, where they can be better guarded, without prejudicing their removal at a more opportune time to more distant places.
Expressing the hope that nothing may occur to prevent the execution of this resolution, and tendering my thanks in behalf of my Government for this manifestation of the desire of the Mexican government to remove the sources of trouble on the frontier,
I remain, &c.,
JOHN W. FOSTER.
