[Inclosure 2 in No. 73.—Translation.]

Mr. Frère-Orban to Mr. Putnam.

Mr. Minister: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the letter which you had the kindness to address me in regard to the manner in which the action of the government of the King relating to the entrance into Belgium of American pork has been appreciated at Washington.

I at once placed these communications under the eyes of the minister of the interior.

I avail myself of this occasion, Monsieur le Ministre, to thank you for the interesting information you have been pleased to give me relative to the experiments made to determine whether or not trichinose existed in the provisions in question.

I have, &c.,

FRÈRE ORBAN.
