Department of Foreign Affairs and Government, Chihuahua, October 19, 1866.

The citizen President of the republic has considered your notes numbered 623 and 627, dated the 19th and 20th September last, with which you sent me the copy of a letter that Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna wrote to you, and a copy of your answer to him, in regard to the resolution of the government refusing to accept the offer of his services. As you have given a sufficient answer to the inexact conceptions in the letter of Mr. Santa Anna, it is useless for me to trouble myself about them, in what refers to me and the charges I made in my communication of the 6th July. Moreover, those charges are recorded in the history of the misfortunes of the republic, and are corroborated by facts so generally known that it is idle to dispute them.

Accept the protests of my attentive consideration.

LERDO BE TEJADA.

Citizen Matias Romero, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexican Republic in Washington, D. C
