No. 277. Mr. Schlözer to Mr. Fish.

Imperial German Legation, Washington, November 13, 1874. (Received November 16.)

Sir: On the 17th of August last I had the honor of a conversation with you about the commissioners appointed by the southern district court of New York for taking testimonies under oath in Germany in the case of S. N. Wolff & Co., in New York.

On the same day I sent to my government your communications in this matter.

In the mean time the legation of the United States at Berlin entered in correspondence with the foreign office on the same question.

The position which the German government occupies in this question, differing slightly from that of the United States Government, I am now requested to communicate to you a dispatch which the imperial foreign office has directed to m£ on the 12th ultimo in explanation of such difference of opinion.

I therefore have the honor to inclose herewith the said dispatch, with an English translation of the same.

Accept, &c.,

SCHL ÖZER.
