Mr. Hirsch to Mr. Blaine.

No. 424.]

Sir: The letter of Rev. H. O. Dwight of March 29, sent to the Department as an inclosure in my No. 423 of this date, concludes with another instance of tampering with letters of American citizens, which I have reported to the Department in a previous communication. I at once renewed my former complaint to the grand vizier, who again promised to correct the evil.

I have, etc.,

Solomon Hirsch.
