“His excellency the President is informed, by your official despatch
No. 95, dated the 22d of June last, of the improvements introduced by
Mr. Albert C. Ramsey in the line of steamers between Acapulco and San
Francisco, in California, and between New Orleans and Vera Cruz, and
in that of mails from that port to Acapulco, whose days of arrival and
departure are stated in the copy which accompanies yours; and you ask to
be authorized to publish the same. His excellency has been pleased to
accord this permission, which I communicate to you in answer for that
purpose. To the same effect, their excellencies the governors of the
States of Vera Cruz, Puebla, Mexico, and Guerrero have been written to,
to place no obstacle in the way of the fixing the posts of Señor Ramsey,
but, on the contrary, to afford every facility in placing these very
useful establishments.”
I have the honor of transmitting this to you for your information, and in
answer to your communications of the 16th June last and the 12th inst.,
assuring you of my consideration and particular esteem.
God and liberty.
P. M. ANAYA.
To Mr. ALBERT C. RAMSEY.
