Letter

Delbrück to The Imperial German, October 12, 1872

Mr. Delbriick to Mr. Schlözer.

In reply to your dispatch of the 27th of September last, I have to say that the government of the German Empire has issued no orders interfering with or forbidding the emigration of Germans to the United States of America. Neither, so far as is known, has the government of any state belonging to the empire adopted any measure of this kind.

The reports on this subject which may be circulated by the American press are therefore to be characterized as entirely without foundation.

I request you to contradict, emphatically, all such reports in such manner as you may think most proper.

For the chancellor,

DELBRÜCK.

The Imperial German Minister, Baron Von Schlözer, Washington.
