Romero to William H. Seward, December 7, 1865

Mr. Romero to Mr. Seward

My Dear Sir: I have the honor of transmitting to you an extract from the Messager Franco-American, of the 4th instant, a French paper published in New York, which contains a letter from its correspondent in the city of Mexico, dated 17th November last, giving a summary of the situation. The circumstance that this correspondent views the occurrences in my country from a French point of view, and that even thus it appears that the situation is untenable, induces me to send you the letter and call your especial attention to it. I will send an English translation of it in a few days for the use of your department.

I am, sir, very respectfully, your very obedient servant,
