Letter
To George F. Seward to George F. Seward , United States, May 12, 1877
No. 72. Mr. Seward to Mr. Evarts.
United States Legation, Peking, May 12, 1877. (Received June 29.)
No. 241.]
Sir: I have the honor to hand to you herewith a copy of a letter, number 48,fron the consul at Chin Kiang, reporting his visit to Wuhu, to open it to American trade, and a copy of my response.
As the port mentioned is within easy reach of Chin Kiang, as I have not yet heard that any foreigners have settled there, and as a consular agency ought not to be established inconsiderately, I have requested Mr. Colby to report to me further before nominating an agent to you.
I have, &c.,
GEORGE F. SEWARD.
