Letter

Messrs. A. S. Lazarus & Co to By the President: T. F. Bayard, October 26, 1885

[Inclosure 2 in No. 2.]

Messrs. A. S. Lazarus & Co. to Mr. Bayard.

Sir: Noticing that the President of the United States of Colombia has issued a proclamation declaring that on and after December 1, 1885, import duties will be levied on imports into Aspinwall and Panama, we ask the favor of a reply as to whether this is not in contravention of treaties now existing between this country and that Republic.

Soliciting the favor of an early reply, we have, &c.,

A. S. LAZARUS & CO.
