Fellner to John Jay, October 14, 1874

Mr. Fellner to Mr. Jay.

Through the medium of the imperial and royal ministry of foreign affairs the esteemed note of the honorable legation of the 6th ult. has been received, in which the honorable legation expresses thanks for the transmission of the diplomas of honorable mention and of the medals for art, for good taste, and for progress, intended for the American participators in the Universal Exposition of 1873, and anticipates in the next few months the transmission of the medals for progress, merit, and for co-operators, as also of the honorary diplomas. Inasmuch as in this esteemed note an error has crept to the effect that the medals for progress are included among those classes of prizes the delivery of which is anticipated, therefore this ministry has the honor, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, to advise that, accompanying its note of the 10th of September last, the medals for progress have been sent to the honorable legation of the United States of America, and accordingly only the medals for merit and for co-operators, and the honorary diplomas, remain to be sent.

For the imperial and royal minister of commerce.
