Mr. Seward to Mr. Romero
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your several communications, dated, respectively, July 12, 1864; May 10, June 12, 25, and 28; August 12, October 10, November 20, and December 7, 15, and 24, 1865; also of those of February 14, 21, 22, 26, and 27, and March 9, 1866, with their accompanying documents, all of them relating to the political condition of the Mexican republic, and which have contributed largely to my knowledge of the events transpiring in that country.
Thanking you for the information thus imparted, I beg to assure you of my high appreciation of the zeal and ability with which, from time to time, you have impressed this government as to the actual condition of affairs in the Mexican republic.
I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you, sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Señor Matias Romero, &c., Washington, D. C.
