Notice to British subjects, May 12, 1871

Notice to British subjects.

Her Britannic Majesty’s charge d’affaires, being fully aware of the deep sympathy which will be felt by Her Majesty’s government and the British public for the sad ravages caused to the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres by the ruling epidemic, and the concern which the sufferings of British subjects will occasion to them, is desirous of at once conveying to his countrymen of all denominations, without distinction, as an evidence of that interest, the assurance of his readiness, in conjunction with her Majesty’s consul, to render every assistance within the scope of their official authority toward relieving all cases of distress of a deserving character which may be brought under their notice; and he hereby invites all those poor and afflicted persons who have been deprived of the means of support, to make personal application to Her Majesty’s legation or to the British consulate, accompanying their applications with such recommendations as they are able to obtain from their respective clergymen or from any respectable resident.
