FOLGER, Secretary to F. T. Frelinghuysen, October 11, 1883

Mr. Folger to Mr. Frelinghuysen.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of a report from the collector of customs at Buffalo, N. Y., dated the 20th ultimo, as also of certain extracts from a letter dated the 14th ultimo, addressed to said collector by the keeper of the Erie County Almshouse, in relation to the deportation of pauper emigrants from various European countries directly to the United States, as also indirectly by way of Canada.

I beg to invite your consideration of the subject-matter of said documents, and, if you deem it admissible, to request that you bring the facts elicited therefrom to the attention of the foreign Governments concerned.

Very respectfully,
