Scarce Mexican report issued by the Office of Foreign Affairs, with significant content on the borderlands. Early in the report there is a section titled "Depredaciones en la frontera -- Sucesos en Corpus Christi," which details activity of Mexican bandits in south Texas. Other sections cover incursions of Apache Indians into Sonora, with the Mexican authorities accusing the United States of encouraging said incursions; issues arising over the transport of merchandise from the United States; and the murder of several American citizens in Mexico. Other parts of the report cover interactions with other countries, including those in Europe and Guatemala. We locate copies in OCLC at the national libraries of France, Spain, and Mexico, and at the University of Arizona. An important record of political transactions along the border with Mexico.
