Letter

Stokley to Hamilton Fish, August 31, 1874

[Inclosure.]

Mr. Stokley to Mr. Fish.

Dear Sir: Your communication of 19th instant was received, inquiring as to dissatisfaction existing among French emigrants in this city.

No complaint of any kind has been made to this department in relation thereto. Since receipt of yours I have been informed the trouble grows out of misrepresentations made by the agents who induce the parties to emigrate, they being unable to procure work upon their arrival in this country, and not possessing means to return.

W. S. STOKLEY.
