Sir:
On your return to Mexico, the Department will expect to receive copies of all your correspondence with the Mexican Government, not heretofore communicated, with a full and detailed statement of the several subject that have been committed to your care.
Whenever the chargé d'affaires of the United States leaves his post, the archives of the legation should be left in the care of the highest officer of his own Government at the place of his representative residence.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN FORSYTH.
