Letter

E. D. Bassett to Monsieur Excellent, June 15, 1875

[D.—Inclosure 4 in No. 384.]

Mr. Bassett to Mr. Excellent.

Mr. Minister: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch of yesterday’s date, and to say, in reply, that, in relation to the subject of that dispatch, I, and all my colleagues of the diplomatic corps, have an important unofficial communication to make this afternoon to his excellency the President, which may, as we all confidently and sincerely hope, render unnecessary further official correspondence on the point in question.

I am, Mr. Minister, your obedient servant,

EBENEZER D. BASSETT.

Monsieur Excellent, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
