[Telegram.—Received 9.50 a. m., August 13, 1870.]
Mr. E. B. Washburne to Mr. Fish.
August 12, 1870.
Fish, Washington:
French government decides North Germans, with certain exceptions, quit France. Advise Prussian government and instruct me. Impossible for great numbers of poor to leave without pecuniary aid.
Will Prussian government place a credit at my disposition to assist poor in leaving? It seems necessary in the interest of humanity.
WASHBURNE, Paris.
