[Inclosure 2 in No. 940.]

Mr. Seward to Mr. De Lano.

United States Consulate, Shanghai, June 14, 1875.

No. 139.]

Sir: I have had the honor to receive your letter No. 72, advising me of the settlement of the Foo-chow and Amoy Telegraph difficulty.

In this connection I beg leave to advise you that the agent of the company has spoken to me in warm terms of the great assistance which you have rendered to the telegraph company from the inception of the business until its close in a satisfactory manner.

I shall send a copy of your letter and of the response to it to the Assistant Secretary of State. It will, I think, be agreeable to him to learn how earnestly, yet disinterestedly, American officials in this part of the world labor for the advancement of general interests.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

GEO. F. SEWAED,
Consul-General.

M. M. De Lano, Esq., United States Consul, Foo-chow.
