Ernest Dichman to Señor Rico, September 4, 1879

[Inclosure 1 in No. 158.]

Mr. Dichman to Señor Rico.

Sir: It having been represented to the Government of the United States that the regulations concerning the clearance of vessels at the free ports of Colon-Aspinwall and Panama, when such vessels touch at said ports in connection with the transit of the isthmus, are prejudicial to the freedom of the transit guaranteed by Colombia under the treaty with the United States, I beg to bring this matter to your notice, and will thank you to indicate a time when it will suit your convenience to hold a conference with me in relation to the same.

I am, &c.,

ERNEST DICHMAN.
