Mr. Browne to Mr. Seward
Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith an interesting communication from Mr. Daniel Cleveland, a citizen of San Francisco, addressed to me in answer to a note, a copy of which is inclosed, in relation to Chinese labor on this coast and its effect upon the development of our resources.
The statistics furnished by Mr. Cleveland are valuable, and his views are entitled to respect. It affords me pleasure to state that similiar views are now very generally entertained by intelligent classes on the Pacific coast.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
