Letter
Isaac F. Shepard to Chester Holcombe, February 8, 1879
[Inclosure 2 in dispatch No. 133.]
Mr. Shepard to Mr. Holcombe.
February 8, 1879.
Sir: Referring to my No. 24, of November 2, 1878, to which you responded in your Nos. 54 and 57, I have the honor to forward herewith a copy of a letter just received from Mr. Jenkins, to which I need add no remarks. As requested in your No. 57, I also inclose the original of the paper designated.
In the case of Messrs. Russell & Co. versus certain Chinese, I have the pleasure to report that his excellency the taotai has at length notified me of his assent to the investigation in my presence, which I have so long contended for, at a day to be mutually agreed upon. When it has been held, I will at once advise you of its course and its results.
I am, &c.,
ISAAC F. SHEPARD.
