Letter

Ignacio Mariscal to Nelson, October 6, 1871

[Inclosure B.—Translation.]

Mr. Mariscal to Mr. Nelson.

Sir: Referring to my note of the 2d instant, I have the honor to send your excellency the inclosed copy of a communication from the war department in reply to that which I addressed under the same date to that department, announcing that I had communicated to your excellency the appointment of a new military commander of the line of the Rio Grande, so that he might issue the proper instructions in order to avoid the complaints that are now made concerning cattle-stealing on the frontier.

I am, &c.,

IGNACIO MARISCAL.
