It is with much gratification that I received correspondence from New
Orleans in six days, by your last mail, which arrived here on the 20th
instant at 7¼ o’clock p. m.; and I am now satisfied that, at present,
this route presents facilities for the most rapid mail communication
between California and the United States.
Yours, truly,
S. TYLER, _Agent_.
ALBERT C. RAMSEY, Esq., _Vice President and Agent, Mexico_.

OFFICE P. M. S. S. CO.,
_Acapulco, September 21, 1853_.
DEAR SIR: Your mail was received last night at 6 o’clock, bringing dates
from New Orleans to the 14th inst., which is very satisfactory, being as
yet, I think, the quickest time from the United States.
The down boat from San Francisco I have advised you will not touch, for
which I am very sorry; but your mail matter will receive quick despatch
for San Francisco.
Yours, truly,
S. TYLER, _Agent_.
ALBERT C. RAMSEY, Esq., _Mexico_.

of Guerrero, and the work has been under the direction of Señor José
Maria Pavon since last January, with 70 presidential soldiers, afterwards
increased 80, provided with plenty of tools, rations, and clothes from
the municipal funds. In the first three months of that year, 15,000 yards
of road were opened near Mitapec to the State line of Guerrero; and
to the last dates, the 31st July last, 3,563 yards were repaired near
Chietta; and near Tepeojiema, (S. Juan Espanthan,) 8,529 yards.”
