Mr. Seward to Mr. Romero
Sir: I Have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 12th instant, transmitting a copy of a convention concluded at the city of Mexico [Page 707] on the 29th of September, 1865, between the minister of France and the assistant secretary of the treasury of the so-called emperor of Mexico, for the purpose of fixing the position and pay of such French agents as may hereafter be employed in Mexico.
In reply, I have to inform you that the subject will receive the attention of this department, and, while thanking you for your courtesy, I avail myself of the occasion to renew the assurance of my high consideration.
Señor Matias Romero, &c., Washington, D. C.
