Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress with the Annual Message of the President, December 5, 1870

No. 111.

[Telegram.]

Mr. Davis to Mr. Read.

August 18, 1870.

Read, Consul General, Paris:

Treasury Department decides that all fees received must be either in the same money as heretofore authorized to be received, or its equivalent, so that the United States will not be a loser by any abnormal condition of affairs now existing in France. Please so instruct consuls in your jurisdiction.

J. C. B. DAVIS.
