[Inclosure 1 in No. 389.—Translation.]

Mr. Arias to Mr. Foster.

Department of Foreign Affairs, Mexico, February 29, 1876.

Sir: Referring to the note of Mr. Richardson, secretary of your legation, dated the 27th of last December, I have the pleasure of inclosing to your excellency the copy of a communication which I have just received from the department of war and marine, in which you will see that the removal of the Kickapoo Indians from the State of Chihuahua to Mapimi, a point distant from the line of the Bravo, and at which they can be better guarded, without preventing their removal, at an opportune time, to more distant places, has been decided upon.

I gladly improve this opportunity of reiterating to your excellency the sentiments of high appreciation and very distinguished consideration with which I am your excellency’s obedient servant,

JUAN de D. ARIAS.
