J. M. Lafragua to John W. Foster , Envoy Extraordinary and, November 30, 1874

Mr. Lafragua to Mr. Foster.

Sir: I have the satisfaction of replying to the note of your excellency of the 25th of this month, in which you are pleased to state that there has arrived at Monterey Mr. Atkinson, commissioner of the Government of the United States, to effect the removal to their reservations in that country of the rest of the Kickapoo Indians still in Mexico, and asking the co-operation of the Mexican government, to the end that the said gentleman may be aided in the accomplishment of his mission. I inclose to you a copy of the order of the department of war, which I have just received, in which it appears that instructions have been given to General Fuero, military commandant of the line of the Bravo, that he place no obstacles in the way of the return of the Indians.

I reiterate to your excellency the assurances of my distinguished consideration.
