Washburne to the Duke de Gramont, July 30, 1870
Mr. E. B. Washburne to the Duke de Gramont.
Legation of the United States, Paris, July 30, 1870.
Sir: In view of the fact that I have been charged with the protection of the subjects of the North German Confederation, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and Hesse-Grand-Ducale, residents in France, certain of those subjects have called upon me and expressed a wish to have some kind of a certificate from me, which they think will be a protection. I can see no objection to my giving them a proper certificate of this character, but before doing so I beg to submit, for the approval of your excellency, a form that I have prepared, and which I send herewith.
I take the present opportunity, &c., &c.
E. B. WASHBURNE.
His Excellency the Duke de Gramont, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
