Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 5, 1892

Mr. Adee to Mr. Herbert.

[Unofficial.]

Department of State,
Washington, September 2, 1892.

My Dear Mr. Herbert: In further response to your unofficial note of the 26th ultimo, I regret that I am unable to procure the detailed information you desire in regard to the traffic passing through the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, as I am informed by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics that the data prepared and furnished to that office are not capable of being classified under the headings you indicate, month by month.

The inclosed proof sheets from a report now in the hands of the printer, and probably to be issued in about a fortnight, contains all the information the Bureau of Statistics can now give me concerning the traffic in question.

Very sincerely yours,

Alvey A. Adee.
