Republic of Mexico–Colonel on special duty., February 24, 1866

Republic of Mexico–Colonel on special duty.

In answer to the query of January 23, respecting certain goods claimed by Eloseque and Mayoral, of Matamoras, I beg to inform you that the general-in-chief of the army corps of the north seized a certain amount of goods as property of the enemy, and also because the regular tax on said parties was not paid as assessed, and directed me to cross them over to Clarksville and dispose of them as I thought best. I enclose list of the articles seized, which were shipped to Mr. A. A. McLeffey, subject to the order of the undersigned. Any other goods not enumerated in the accompanying list have been fraudulently obtained, and I shall be glad if they be returned to the proper owners.
