Foster to To His Excellency J. M. Lafragua, May 11, 1875

Mr. Foster to Mr. Lafragua.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency’s note of the 7th instant and its inclosures relative to the measures taken by your government for the arrest, trial, and punishment of the criminals guilty of the outrages in Texas, who may have fled to Mexican territory, and for the preservation of good order on the Rio Grande frontier.

I have to thank your excellency for the information contained in your said note, which I will communicate to my Government, which will doubtless be gratified to learn of the measures adopted, especially if they shall prove efficacious in preventing the passage of the Rio Grande of further bands of outlaws to commit depredations in Texas.

I renew to your excellency the assurances of my high consideration and esteem.
