Mr. Evarts to Mr. Taylor.

Department of State,
Washington, October 19, 1878.

No. 29.]

Sir: Your dispatch of the 5th July last (No. 28), in relation to the case of Mr. Willimek, has been received.

The department has received with satisfaction the information conveyed by you in relation to the course pursued by the Imperial Government of Germany with regard to naturalized German-Americans who may have occasion to revisit their native country. The substance of that information has been communicated to Mr. Willimek, who will no doubt avail himself of the immunity thus secured to him by the generous policy of the German Government.

I am, &c.,

WM. M. EVARTS.
