Pasetti to Francis, March 5, 1885

[Inclosure 1 in No. 78.—Translation.]

M. Pasetti to Mr. Francis.

In reply to the request of the Hon. John M. Francis, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, the imperial royal ministry of foreign affairs has not delayed to take the necessary steps with reference to summoning Henry Rice for the discharge of military duty in Hungary.

The ministry is now in condition to inform the North American minister that on the part of the royal Hungarian ministry for national defense the commander has been telegraphed not to bring Harry Rice before the examining committee.

While the undersigned reserves more extended communication while awaiting further developments, he avails himself of this occasion to renew to the honorable the North American envoy the assurance of his distinguished consideration.

For the minister of foreign affairs.

M. PASETTI.
