Sir: With reference to the correspondence had with Mr. Washburne near the close of his mission, in relation to the unfavorable position occupied by American life insurance companies in France as compared with similar foreign corporations, I inclose herewith a copy of a recent letter, dated the 17th of December, 1879, upon the subject, from Mr. George Merrill, the attorney of the New York Life Insurance Company. Whenever the company shall communicate to the legation such information as will enable it to resume the correspondence where it was left by Mr. Washburne, you will reopen a discussion of the question with the French authorities.
I am, &c.,
WM. M. EVARTS.
