Hitt to Evarts, March 29, 1877

No. 95. Mr. Hitt to Mr. Evarts.

No. 1470.]

Sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith a copy of a letter from Mr. Cr6pon, representing the stock-brokers’ association, inquiring in regard to the new United States 4½ per cent, three hundred million loan, with a view to its admission to the Paris bourse, and a copy of my reply, together with translations of both letters.

He also suggests the advantage of establishing an office in France for the payment of coupons on our bonds and as this suggestion comes from a source enjoying high consideration here in the financial world, I forward the correspondence to you, that you may, if you deem it advisable to do so, transmit it to the Secretary of the Treasury.

I am, &c.,

R. R. HITT.
