Mr. Heer to Mr. Fish.

Berne, August 14, 1877.

The Federal Council has the honor to acknowledge to the chargé d’affaires of the United States-of America the receipt of his note of the 7th instant, by which he was pleased to communicate four copies of a circular addressed by his government to the diplomatic and consular agents of the United States abroad, authorizing them to continue to extend their good offices for the protection of Swiss citizens in countries where the Swiss Confederation is not represented.

While requesting the chargé d’affaires to present to his government the expression of the deep gratitude of the Federal Council, it avails itself of this occasion to renew to him the assurances of its high consideration.

In the name of the Federal Council.

The President of the Confederation,

HEER
