Department of State, Washington, May 28, 1856.
Sir: For reasons which have been communicated to Her Majesty’s government, the President has revoked the exequatur heretofore granted to you, by which you were permitted to exercise the functions and enjoy the privileges of British consul at Cincinnati.
I herewith send to you a copy of the act of revocation.

Orders to that effect have been issued to the United States attorney at Cincinnati.
I have the honor to be, your obedient servant,
- W. L. MARCY.
- Mr. Charles Rowcroft, Her Britannic Majesty’s Consul, Cincinnati.
