Wickham Hoffman to the Duke de Gramont, July 17, 1870
Mr. W. Hoffman to the Duke de Gramont.
Legation of the United States, Paris, July 17, 1870.
I was requested by the ambassador of the North German Confederation, before his departure from Paris, to take the North German subjects residing in French territory under the protection of this legation. To-day I am in receipt of a telegram from my Government authorizing me to do so, provided that it be done with the assent of his Majesty’s government. I have the honor to apply for this assent. * *
WICKHAM HOFFMAN.
His Excellency the Duke de Gramont, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
