No. 213.
Mr. Drummond to Mr. Evarts.
Washington
,
January 13, 1879.
(Received January 14.)
Sir: Lord Salisbury has transmitted to Sir Edward Thornton a copy of a dispatch from Her Majesty’s ambassador at Berlin upon the subject of the funeral of Mr. Bayard Taylor, late United States minister at the court of Berlin. As it may be of interest to the United States Government to know the opinion of one of his former colleagues in respect to the estimation in which he was held by all who knew him in Germany, I give myself the pleasure of inclosing to you a copy Lord Odo Russell’s dispatch.
I have the honor, &c.,
VICTOR DRUMMOND.
