Partridge to Hamilton Fish, June 21, 1873
No. 39. Mr. Partridge to Mr. Fish.
United States Legation, (Petropolis,) Rio de Janeiro, June 21, 1873. (Rec’d July 22.)
No. 116.]
Sir: In my No. 108, (April 24,) Unformed the Department that I had addressed to the minister of foreign affairs here a note in relation to the exaggerated Brazilian custom-house valuation of products of the United States imported into this country, and urged a reduction of this pauta, if not of the rate of duty, as a proper answer to our liberality in regard to Brazilian products, and I annexed copy of the note.
I now transmit, annexed, a translation of their reply, by which it will be seen that they promise to give all consideration to these representations as soon as the chambers shall proceed to fix the basis of the new pauta.
I am, &c.,
JAMES R. PARTRIDGE.
