No. 1106.
Mavroyeni Bey to Mr. Bayard.

[Translation.]

Mr. Secretary: By my note dated the 2d of March last, I had the honor to bring to the knowledge of your excellency certain regulations which the Sublime Porte had deemed incumbent to adopt in regard to the sojourn of Israelites in Palestine.

In present conformity with new instructions from my Government I have the pleasure to inform your excellency that the measures recited in my aforesaid note are only applicable to Israelites emigrating in a body (en nombre), and that no obstacle will be raised against the sojourn of those who do not come within this case.

Accept, etc.,

A. Mavroyeni.
