No. 124.
Mr. Davis to Marquis de Noailles.

Department of State,
Washington, July 22, 1873.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 12th instant, transmitting a copy of a dispatch received from your government, from which it appears that the Italian government is not disposed to ratify the draft of a convention prepared by its representative in Japan, and rejects the conditions proposed for the free travel of foreigners in the interior of that empire.

I beg to convey to you the thanks of this Department for your courtesy in communicating this information.

Accept, &c.

J. C. B. DAVIS,
Acting Secretary.
