Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, with the Annual Message of the President, December 6, 1875, Volume I

No. 176.
Mr. Cadwalader to Mr. Avery.

Department of State,
Washington, August 11, 1875.

No. 59.]

Sir: Your dispatch No. 63, of the 11th June, inclosing further correspondence upon the question of missionary rights beyond treaty-ports, has been received, and the correspondence has been read with interest.

The Department replied some time since to your dispatch No. 61 upon this subject; and your No. 63 furnishes no reason to change the views expressed in that instruction, (No. 56.)

It is hoped that judicious treatment of the subject and careful action of the missionaries may induce the authorities to permit what might not be demanded as a right.

I am, &c.,

JOHN L. CADWALADER,
Acting Secretary.
