Matias Romero to William H. Seward, November 22, 1866
[Translation.]
Señor Romero to Mr. Seward,
Washington, November 22, 1866.
My Dear Sir: I enclose you for your information the copy of a communication from Don Martin de Castillo, the so-called minister of foreign affairs and marine of Maximilian, written by him from Turin, the 6th instant, giving the views of public opinion in Europe in regard to his permanency in Mexico, and how much this is desired, “as much for the national and commercial interests of the moment, as for political equilibrium in the New World, so as to confine a certain nation to limits, in order to prevent its gigantic development in future.”
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. ROMERO.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., & c., & c.
