Emilio writes McMaster his connection with Mr. Caulfield. He feels it best to inform McMaster to be careful with Caulfield. He has been sufficiently informed as to Caulfield's operations there. Caulfield has got a paper from the minister authorizing the company. Emilio wishes to know what Caulfield intends to do. He expects the latter to tell McMaster something of his plans although Caulfield is very secretive. Emilio wonders if there is any possibility of forming companies in New York. He is to be with the minister all day tomorrow and will send McMaster any new information by the next steamer. Caulfield has not been very open with him. Emilio sends McMaster all the papers and also a letter from his agent in Vera Cruz Mexico and asks him to make such use of them as he can. If McMaster can make any arrangements with parties for operations in Mexico he urges him to do so. He has given McMaster a letter of introduction to Mr. Keeling. He wishes McMaster to see Keeling in regard to Mexico. He sends McMaster some trinkets which were made by the natives. He calls attention to the exquisite coloring and taste displayed by these "ignorant" peoples. The two samples of coffee he sends are from Cordova Mexico. The Emperor Maximilian left that day for Arizara and is to be absent for about 20 days. Emilio understands that 30,000 French troops are on their way there from France. He tells McMaster to make whatever use of his letter and information as he finds necessary. He apologizes for his poor grammar and hopes Jennie and Mollie will enjoy the play things he has sent them. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
