Actual Privy Councillor , Mr. Philipsborn to Bayard Taylor, August 3, 1878

Mr. von Philipsborn to Mr. Taylor.

Sir: The envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, Mr. Bayard Taylor, will have been so good as to have perceived from our note of the 28th of June last, intended as a preliminary reply to the esteemed note of the 14th of the same month concerning the expulsion of Karl Ganzenmüller by the Baden authorities, that the case has been brought to the knowledge of the Grand Ducal Baden State Government

The matter has in the mean time, pursuant to a communication from the latter government, been disposed of by the readoption into Grand Ducal Baden citizenship of Ganzenmüller on the 13th of June last, at his own request.

Hence the assumption of the Grand Ducal Government, which found expression in the inclosure of our note of the 11th of June last, that Ganzenmüller had returned to his native country not for a mere temporary but for a permanent residence, may be held to have received its full confirmation.

The undersigned avails himself, also, of this occasion to renew to Mr. Bayard Taylor the assurance of his most distinguished consideration.
