Wrangel thanks Victoria for receiving Klebnikov (per Victoria's 5 Mar 1831 Monterey letter); welcomes Mexico's wish for 'relations amicales et commerciales avec Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Russie' & proposes commercial relations with the RAC; but — the keystone — 'quant à la reconnaissance par l'Empereur de Russie l'indépendance du Mexique, à l'évacuation de notre établissement près du port Bodego, nommé Ross, et aux autres propositions' raised by Victoria, Wrangel holds these matters too weighty to deliberate at his level. Documents the Mexican bid to trade Russian recognition of independence for the evacuation of Ross/Bodega. Signed 'Baron Wrangel, Capitaine du haut bord de Sa Majesté, Imp. Gouverneur des colonies russes en Amérique'
