Guy , Esq., Solicitor , &c., &c., &c to Frederick W. Guy, October 24, 1883
[Inclosure 1 in No. 647.]
Mr. Hoppin to Mr. Guy.
Legation of the United States, London, October 24, 1883.
Sir: Having been instructed by the Department of State to ascertain the citizenship of O’Donnell, I obtained permission from the home office and went to see him on the subject on Monday.
He claims citizenship upon the ground of his father’s having been naturalized in the United States, while he, Patrick, was yet a minor. He did not know when or where his father was naturalized.
I omitted to ask him as to certain facts which might enable us to ascertain the proper dates. Will you, therefore, be kind enough to inquire of him and to reply as soon as practicable as to:
- His father’s name.
- Is he still living?
- Where it is probable in the United States that he took out his naturalization papers.
- His mother’s name.
- Is she still living, and where does she reside?
- Would any of his family know the facts in the matter, and where may they be found?
I am, &c.,
- W. J. HOPPIN, Chargé d’ Affaires ad interim.
- Charles J. Guy, Esq., Solicitor, &c., &c., &c.
