George F. Seward to Sir T. Wade, April 30, 1880
[Inclosure 1 in No. 681.]
Mr. Seward to Sir T. Wade.
April 30, 1880.
Dear Sir and Colleague: I beg leave to hand to you herewith a memorandum showing my procedure in placing before the ministers of the Tsung-li Yamên, at your request and that of my colleagues, the facts and considerations in regard to the condition of the Chinese currency affecting the payment of customs dues and duties to which we have felt ourselves warranted in calling their attention.
This memorandum will be translated into Chinese and forwarded to the Yamên, with Mr. von Brandt’s printed paper and my own, in case you and our colleagues generally find it to be in accordance with our views and agreement.
I am, &c.,
GEORGE F. SEWARD.
