day before the mail leaves that place for Bexar. I recommend

respondence at that point, and so establish a communication by
mail from all places in Mexico with every place in the United
States of the North. For the said exchange all that is necessary is
that the government of the north should be advised through their
charge here, of the desire of this Govt to change the correspondence
on the Sabine.
The postage on letters & papers on each side should be paid to
the line, & after passing should pay such postage as is required by
the laws of the respective republics.
