which you did me the honor to address to me on
the LIST of Msy, could not conceal from yoe my
sur rze at the doubt which YOU had expressed in
tnat note, respecting the revocation of the DEGREES
OF Berlin and stin. That revocation was proven
BY many Official acts, by all my sondence with
yoor predecessors and with YOU by the d. cisians in
favor Of A mercan vessels. You have done me the
honor to ask copy of the ietters which the Grand
Judge aud the minister OF the Finances wrote on
the 18th Dec 1910 secure the first effects of that
measure, and you have said, sir. that the decree
OF the 18th of April, 1871, whish proves defintvely
the revocation of the DEGREES OF Berlin and Mi.
Ian in regard to the Americans, was not known
to you
have the honor to send you as you have desired
a copy OF these three acts, you viii consider them
without anhbt sir, as the plainest answer, which
could give To this part If your note. AS to the two
other questions To which that note relates l will
take care to lay them before the Emperor You
know already; sir, the sentiments which his majesty
has express ed in favor of American commerce. and
the good dispositions which have Induced him TO
appoint pleRipoientary to treat with you on that
important interest.
Accept, sir, &C. =. ..
