Nelson to José Maria Lafragua, March 15, 1873
No. 286. Mr. Nelson to Mr. Fish.
Legation of the United States, Mexico, March 15, 1873. (Received April 1.)
No. 717.]
Sir: Under date of the 3d instant, I directed a note to the minister of foreign affairs, inclosing copies of several communications transmitted by the Secretary of War of the United States to the Department of State, concerning recent depredations committed by persons residing in Mexico upon the property of citizens of the State of Texas. I pointed out the serious consequences that would inevitably follow if the Mexican authorities did not at once check these outrages, and invoked prompt and energetic action in the premises.
I have, &c.,
THOMAS H. NELSON.
