Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 5, 1892

Mr. Foster to Mr. Newberry.

Department of State,
Washington, October 15, 1892.

No. 404.]

Sir: I have received your No. 551 of the 27th ultimo in relation to the case of Dr. Bartlett at Bourdour.

I have read with interest the copied passage from Dr. Bartlett’s journal, that accompanied your dispatch, and have been agreeably impressed by the apparent good disposition and business-like methods of the mutessarif of Isbarta, who, in the main, seems to have materially aided toward Dr. Bartlett’s protection and presumably toward the final adjustment of the incidents.

I am, etc.,

John W. Foster.
