Mr. Kapena to Mr. Comly.
Department of Foreign Affairs, Honolulu, May 2, 1879.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of this date submitting to my consideration “the question whether the tariff collected by the Hawaiian custom-house upon all cotton manufactured into clothing, ‘the same being the growth, manufacture, or produce of the United States,’ is not in contravention of Article II of the reciprocity treaty.”
I have forwarded a copy of your dispatch to His Excellency S. K. Kaai, minister of finance, and await his answer, in order that I may fully reply to the question embraced in your letter now acknowledged.
With the highest respect, &c.,
JOHN M. KAPENA.
His Excellency James M. Comly, United States Minister Resident.
