Letter

Lerdo de Tejada to Matias Romero, Envoy Extraordinary and, November 21, 1865

No. 1.

[Translation.]

Department of Foreign Relations and Government, Bureau of Relations–Section for America–No. 393.

As you will see by the circular issued yesterday from this department, and inserted in the printed paper accompanying this note, the President of the republic left Paso del Norte the 13th of this month, and reached this city yesterday, where he has determined to fix the residence of the national government for the present.

You will also see in the same paper an account of the public demonstrations on the reception of the President, which furnishes a new proof of the patriotic sentiments of the generality of Mexicans against French intervention.

I protest to you my attentive consideration.

LERDO DE TEJADA.

Matias Romero, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexican Republic.
