Letter
Francis P. Knight to Seth Williams, October 6, 1874
[Inclosure 1 in No. 69.]
Mr. Knight to Mr. Williams.
United States Consulate, New-chwang, 6th October, 1874.
No. 24.]
Sir A perusal of the inclosed copies of letters, which I have the honor to hand yon, will explain a difference of opinion which I have arrived at with the harbor-master of this port, in reference to the meaning of clause 2 of regulation 7 of the pilotage Regulations.
The question is one of great importance as regards the jurisdiction of this consulate, and others as well; and, should you approve the stand I have taken, I shall feel obliged if the harbor authorities of the port are so instructed.
My dispatch to the harbor-master contains all I have to say on the subject while the reading of the clause remains the same.
I have, &c.,
FRANCIS P. KNIGHT.
S. Williams, Esq., LL. D., &c.
