Letter to Mexican diplomat Matias Romero from G. Barrios
Barrios expresses shock at learning of Lincoln’s assassination at the theater. Description of Lincoln as “the personification of US unity and faithful representative of the Monroe Doctrine”. Hope that the assassination won’t influence policy toward Mexico negatively, though it’s likely nothing could lead the Americans to change their stance on European intervention in the hemisphere.
