DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND OFFICE OF WAR AND MARINE—SECTION FIRST.
I have informed the President of the republic of your communication of the 25th of November last, dated in Cadereita Jimenez, after your evacuation of Monterey.
The reasons you give for that act, and your subsequent action in regard to the enemy, are approved by the President, who trusts to your prudence to increase and preserve the forces under your command.
Independence and liberty! Paso del Norte, January 9, 1866.
MEJIA.
