Nelidow to Mr. Maynard, April 11, 1877
[Inclosure 2 in No. 148.—Translation.]
Mr. Nelidow to Mr. Maynard.
April 11, 1877.
Sir: The imperial government having decided to break diplomatic relations with the Sublime Porte, I have received instructions to leave Constantinople with the personnel of the embassy, and to withdraw all our consular agents residing in Turkey.
In bringing the foregoing to your excellency’s knowledge, I should add that the embassy of His Majesty the Emperor of Germany is charged with the protection of Russian interests in Turkey.
At the moment of embarking for Odessa, I make it my duty to reiterate, sir, the assurance of my high consideration.
NELIDOW.
His Excellency Mr. Maynard.
