Señor Mitre y Vedia to Mr. Seward
Mr. Secretary: I have just received your esteemed note of the 11th instant, in reply to mine of the 9th, informing me that you think it would be better for both governments to have the affair to which my despatch relates settled in Buenos Ayres, and that you have instructed Mr. Asboth to confer with the Argentine government immediately, hoping they will have good cause of satisfaction.
In reply, all that I have to say is, that I will inform my government of that determination, hoping the result may be as you desire.
I remain your attentive and obedient servant,
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
