Letter
L. Ethéart to John Mercer Langston, July 3, 1879
[Inclosure 1 in No. 186.—Translation.]
Mr. Ethéart to Mr. Langston.
Port au Prince, July 3, 1879.
Mr. Minister: As you know, I addressed yesterday a circular to the members of the diplomatic corps to ask them the names of the refugees which they had received at their residences, and what disposition they were going to take in that behalf. Not having received any response to my circular I have the honor to ask you to convoke them, and to inform them that the government has decided to embark said refugees upon the English steamer which will leave this port to-day. It is necessary, then, to have an understanding in order that all necessary measures may be taken in the premises.
Be pleased to accept, Mr. Minister, the assurance of my very high consideration.
The secretary of state of foreign relations.
L. ETHÉART.
