Letter
FOTTION, United States Consular Agent to Mr. Maynard, April 15, 1877
[Inclosure 4 with No. 148.]
Mr. Fottion to Mr. Maynard.
United States Consular Agency, Mytilene, 15 (27) April, 1877.
No. 13.]
Sir: I have the honor to transmit, inclosed herewith, three copies, numbered respectively 20, 16, and 17. The first is a letter from the Russian vice-consul in this city, Mr. Amira, asking American protection for Russian subjects, as there is no German consul here. The second is my reply to the same, in which I say that my duty does not permit me to accept it without the permission of my superiors. The third is my dispatch to Mr. Smithers asking his instructions. The Russian vice-consul has begged me earnestly to send also to you, honorable sir, the same copies as to Mr. Smithers, with request for an early reply, for he does not know what to do in this difficult position.
I am, &c.,
M. M. FOTTION,
United States Consular Agent.
United States Consular Agent.
