Mr. Christitch to Mr. Kasson.

Principality of Servia, Legation in Austria-Hungary, Vienna, February 13, 1881.

Monsieur le Ministre: I have just received the response of the minister for foreign affairs following the communication of the contents of the note which you were pleased to address to me on the 1st instant. The government sincerely regrets that the present condition of our finances does not allow it to nominate its representative near the United States of America; still, it indulges the hope that the great and wealthy Republic will not for that reason be less disposed to nominate its representative at Belgrade.

I avail myself, Monsieur le Ministre, of this fresh occasion to renew to your excellency the assurances of my highest consideration.

PH. CHRISTITCH.

His Excellency Mr. John A. Kasson, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, &c., &c., &c., at Vienna.
