John Mercer Langston to L. Ethéart, July 8, 1879
[Inclosure 2 in No. 186.]
Mr. Langston to Mr. Ethéart.
Legation of the United States, Port au Prince, Hayti, July 8, 1879.
Sir: I have the honor to state that your dispatch of this date, in which you ask me to convoke the corps diplomatique and inform them that the government has decided to embark the refugees referred to by you in a circular addressed yesterday to them, has been received.
The diplomatic and consular corps have been convoked and the contents of your dispatch made known to them according to your request.
The members of this body have either answered your circular already, as I am assured, or will do so as soon as practicable.
By the way, it appears that several gentlemen who wese present have not received your circular.
I have, &c.,
JOHN MERCER LANGSTON.
