Mr. Seward to Señor Romero

Sir: I have the honor to enclose a copy of a letter of the 14th ultimo, received at this department from the Secretary of War, transmitting a letter dated at New Orleans on the 24th of August, 1866, from Mr. James B. Gauche, a citizen of the United States, to Major General Sheridan, complaining of the exaction from him, by the liberal authorities of Matamoras, of forced loans to the amount of $1,900, and to beg of you to call the attention of your government to the matters complained of.

I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Señor Don M. Romero, &c., & c., & c.
