[Translation.]
Mr. Otterbourg to General Marquez
Consulate of the United States, Mexico, June 5, 1867.
General: Several persons of distinction have called on me to say that General Miguel Miramon has been lately taken prisoner, and has invited men learned in the law to go from this capital to defend him.
In deference to the request of individuals worthy of respect, and prompted by a spirit of humanity, I cannot hesitate in communicating these reports, and requesting that passports be issued to the counsel of General Miramon to leave the capital as early as possible in the discharge of their mission.
With assurances of consideration,
MARCUS OTTERBOURG, United States Consul.
His Excellency General Leonardo Marquez.
