Letter
Benj. P. Avery to Benjamin P. Avery , United States, June 11, 1875
No. 161. Mr. Avery to Mr. Fish.
Legation of the United States, Peking, June 11, 1875. (Received August 9.)
No. 63.]
Sir: In further reference to the question of missionary rights beyond treaty-ports, I have the honor to inclose an unofficial note from R. M. Johnson, esq., consul at Han-kow, discussing a correspondence between Mr. Beebe, formerly acting consular agent at Kiu-kiang, and Mr. Low, in which the latter clearly states the views set forth at more length in his dispatches to the Department.
In my reply to Mr. Johnson I discourage the tendency to establish permanent missions farther in the interior. It seems to be unnecessary to add anything to what I have already written on the subject.
I have, &c.,
BENJ. P. AVERY.
