Mr. Noyes to Mr. Evarts.

Legation of the United States,
Paris, October 25, 1878. (Received November 7.)
No. 159.]

Sir: I have the honor to transmit an additional list of contributors to the fund for the relief of sufferers from yellow fever in America. The Department will, I am sure, be interested in observing the names of many prominent French citizens.

As the dispatches from America indicate that early frosts have checked the ravages of the fever; that the relief organizations are being disbanded, and that business is being resumed, I shall, in a day or two, publish notice that no further contributions are required here, and conveying the thanks of my government and people for the sympathy and generosity which have been manifested in Paris and other parts of France.

I have, &c.,

EDWARD F. NOYES.
