Mr. Seward to Mr. Plumb.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch of July 11, 1868, No. 159, inclosing a copy of a communication from the Mexican government relating to the attempted organization in the United States of expeditions hostile to the peace of Mexico.
Your proceedings in the premises are approved.
Long prior to the receipt of your dispatch, the attention of this government having been drawn to the organization to which it refers, prompt and it is believed effectual measures were taken for their suppression and the maintenance of our laws for the preservation of neutrality. You will inform the Mexican government of this fact, of which it has probably already been apprised by the report of its agents in this country.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Edward L. Plumb, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
