No. 88.
Mr. Fish to Mr. Vickers.

Department of State,
Washington, October 25, 1873.

Sir: Your letter of the 29th of September last to the President, with its several inelosures, has been referred to this Department. The inclosures appear to be letters and documents transmitted to you officially in August last, before your resignation and while you were the commercial agent of the United States at Samana. It is to be regretted that you did not transmit these documents to this Department in your official correspondence in the usual manner before resigning your position.

I am, sir, &c.,

Hamilton Fish.
