No. 228.
Mr. Frelinghuysen to Señor Romero.
Washington, D. C., March 15, 1882.
Sir: Adverting to recent correspondence with your legation relative to depredations in the State of Sonora, by Indians from the San Carlos Reservation, I have now much pleasure in inclosing, for your information, a copy of a letter from the Secretary of the Interior, of the 8th instant, and of its accompaniment from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to him, respecting that complaint. It will be observed, from these papers, that every possible effort for the prevention of similar occurrences in the future will be taken by the officers of this government, and it is earnestly hoped that the authorities of Mexico on the border will facilitate the successful prosecution of every proper measure adopted to that end.
Accept, &c.,
