William H. Seward to Señor Don M. Romero, September 20, 1866
[Unofficial.]
Mr. Frederick W. Seward to Señor Romero
Department of State, Washington, September 20, 1866.
Dear Sir: I have noticed in a St. Louis newspaper a letter alleged to be from some point on the frontier, stating that the Marquis de Montholon, who is supposed to be a son of the French minister here, had been taken prisoner in the State of Durango, and shot by his captors. If you should have received any information upon this subject, I will thank you for it.
I am, very truly, yours,
F. W. SEWARD, Acting Secretary.
Señor Don M. Romero, &c., &c., &c.
