No. 144. Mr. Morton to Mr. Frelinghuysen.
Legation of the United States, Paris, October 21, 1883. (Received November 3.)
No. 425.]
Sir: Having had recent conversations with the President, the president of the council, and other members of the cabinet with reference to the decree prohibiting the importation of American salted meats, I deemed the present a fitting time to address another dispatch to the minister of foreign affairs, restating the reasons why my Government had expected for a long time the withdrawal of this decree, and asking the early and earnest consideration of the question by the French Government.
I have the honor to inclose a copy of my communication, which I hope will meet the approval of the Department.
I have, &c.,
LEVI P. MORTON.
