Letter
Hamilton Fish to Beardsley, March 22, 1873
[Telegram.]
Mr. Fish to Mr. Beardsley.
Washington, March 22, 1873.
Your telegram leaves it impossible to decide whether Ungar is or is not entitled to American protection.
If an American citizen commits a crime in a foreign country and escapes thence to another foreign country, between which and that wherein the offense was committed there exists an extradition for offenses such as that charged, his citizenship does not afford ground for the American representative to do more than to see that his reclamation and extradition are properly made and conducted.
FISH.
