Frelinghuysen to Allen Young, July 3, 1882
No. 80. Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. Young.
Department of State, Washington, July 3, 1882.
No. 17.]
Sir: Mr. Holcombe’s dispatch of the 6th of May last, in relation to the residence of American missionaries in the interior of China, has been received. His exposition of the rights of citizens of the United States in China in the note which he addressed to Mr. Carrow, on that date, is regarded as a very clear and discreet statement of what may properly be claimed under the stipulations of existing treaties for our citizens, residents in China, whether engaged in the calling of missionaries or in any other pursuit, and meets with the unqualified approval of the department.
I am, &c.,
FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
