Mr. Campbell to Count Manderstrom

Legation of the United States, Stockholm, January 11, 1865.

Sir: I have the honor to receive the note of your excellency of the 27th ultimo, calling my attention to an international exhibition to be held at Bergen, Norway, in the course of next summer, relating to fish and fisheries.

The branches of industry embraced within the purview of the programme you did me the honor to enclose have added much to the wealth and prosperity of the New England States of my own country, as well as to the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway.

The exhibition cannot fail to be of importance and interest to the peoples of both countries, and I shall take pleasure in calling the especial attention of my government to a purpose so interesting.

This occasion is embraced by me, sir, to present the assurance of my most distinguished consideration.

JAMES H. CAMPBELL.

His Excellency Count Manderstrom, Minister of State and of Foreign Affairs, &c., &c., &c.
