Letter
HARRINGTON, Acting Secretary of the Treasury to William H. Seward, August 18, 1864
Mr. Harrington to Mr. Seward
Treasury Department, August 18, 1864.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of August 11, enclosing a copy of a communication from Mr. De Stoeckl, minister of Russia, who inquires whether persons of Russian birth, who have been naturalized as American citizens and subsequently returned to Russia, are required to pay any impost in order to obtain the privilege of exporting their property.
In reply I have to state that there is no law imposing any such tax as that referred to.
With great respect,
GEO. HARRINGTON, Acting Secretary of the Treasury.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
