Mr. Fish to Mr. Wing
No. 35.]
Department of State, Washington, March 23, 1871.
Sir: Your dispatch No. 64, of the 30th of January, in regard to the regulations of the fire department, so far as it imposes personal service upon foreigners, or an exemption tax, has been received. In reply I have to inform you that your refusal to unite with other members of the diplomatic body in Quito in a formal remonstrance against the same was discreet and is approved, as is also your subsequent conduct on that occasion, the propriety of which is shown by the result.
I am, &c.,
HAMILTON FISH.
