Mr. Seward to Mr. Geofroy
Department of State, Washington, July 9, 1864.
Sir: With reference to the memorandum, without date, which was received at this department from his Imperial Majesty’s legation, and which related, among other things, to a trade in articles contraband of war, between Brownsville and Matamoras, and with reference also to my reply of the 21st ultimo, I now have the honor to enclose, in further reply, a copy of a communication of the 8th instant from the Secretary of the Treasury, from which it appears that you have been misinformed.
Accept, sir, a renewed assurance of my high consideration.
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Mr. L. de Geofroy.
