No. 136. Mr. Kasson to Mr. Frelinghuysen.

Legation of The United States, Berlin, November 17, 1884. (Received December 1.)

No. 74.]

Sir: Among the many legal questions arising under our naturalization laws ‘and treaty upon Which I am required to give opinions at this legation there is one case that of Augustus Reichard, which had previously been submitted to the Department of State. Its reply,(March 19, 1884), as he claimed, still left him in doubt touching his rights, and now he appeals to this legation.

After an examination of the text of the German law of naturalization, I sent him a reply as full and explicit as possible. I should be glad to know that the opinion of his rights and liabilities, and those of his family, under the treaty of 1868, as expressed in my reply to his letter, is concurred in by the Department.

Copies of his letter and of my answer are herewith inclosed.

I have, &c.,

JOHN A. KASSON.
