No. 256.
Mr. Bayard to Mr. McLane.

Department of State,
Washington, July 27, 1887.

No. 250.]

Sir: Your dispatch No. 442, of the 6th instant, relative to the status of the Baron Seillière at that date, has been received and read with interest. The case having been since disposed of by the release of the baron, under the operation of the French law of lunacy, it is unnecessary further to discuss the subject. Your energetic and prompt action in this case has given great satisfaction to the Department.

I am, etc.,

T. F. BAYARD.
