Motely recalled as London legation is turned over

The note links this recall to Britain fisheries talks and hints at possible serious developments. New Mexico officials urge Congress to admit the territory as a state. A bill for Colorado similar in scope is favored. Sherman reports army strength and planned reductions by 1871.
