Mr. Secretary of State: I wish to forward to the royal consulates in the United States a confirmation of the instructions already issued to them and to acquaint the Government of His Majesty with the answer of the competent federal department to the request for the microscopic examination of pork meats intended for export to Italy, and venture to call your excellency’s attention to my note, No. 1775, of September last, begging that you will kindly put me in position to comply with the duties I thus propose to discharge.
Thanking you earnestly in advance for the favor I expect of your known courtesy, I gladly embrace the opportunity to renew, etc.
