Letter

Busch to Sidney Everett, March 22, 1882

[Inclosure 2 in No. 308.—Translation.]

Dr. Busch to Mr. Everett.

The undersigned has the honor to inform Mr. H. Sidney Everett, charge d’affaires of the United States of America, in reply to the esteemed note of the 24th ultimo, concerning a consignment of American pork which has been detained at Altona, that the prohibition of June 25, 1880, is still in force and is especially applicable to prepared pigs’ tongues.

After a careful examination, in the proper quarter, of the facts in the case, it has not been considered feasible to make an exception to the existing prohibition in favor of the large consignment of pigs’ tongues and the preparation known as “brawn” referred to in the esteemed note.

The undersigned avails, &c.,

BUSCH.
