Letter
Benj. P. Avery to To the, November 26, 1874
[Inclosure 8 in No. 11.]
Mr. Avery to the Ministers of the Foreign Office.
Legation of the United States, Peking, November 26, 1874.
Gentlemen: I have this moment had the honor to receive your note in respect to the audience, in which you strongly request me to meet you at the foreign office to rehearse the ceremony then to be observed.
It seems to me that more importance, by far, is given to this point than is necessary, but as your note now at hand requests a meeting at 2 o’clock this afternoon, I will see you at that hour to consult together upon such points as may be requisite. In sending this reply, I beg to assure you of my best wishes.
BENJ. P. AVERY.
To the Ministers of the Foreign Office.
