No. 244. Mr. Langston to Mr. Evarts.
Legation of the United States, Port au Prince, Hayti, January 24, 1879. (Received February 10.)
No. 111.]
Sir: I have the honor to transmit, herewith inclosed, for your information and consideration, copies of dispatches not heretofore forwarded to you, passing between this legation and the Government of Hayti, with regard to the discriminating tax upon patents or licenses.
I invite your special attention to the contents of the dispatch from the Haytian Government, as showing the interpretation of the treaty of 1864 insisted upon by it, and the practice which is adopted in matters pertaining to trade with relation to American citizens residing here and doing business.
I am quite certain that the view which I take in replying on this subject must receive your approval.
I am, &c.,
JOHN MERCER LANGSTON.
