Mr. Terrell to Mr.
Bayard.
Legation of the United States of America,
Constantinople, July 8,
1893.
Sir: I have received a letter from the American
residents of Bulgaria requesting me to take the steps which are
necessary in order that the newly appointed British consul-general in
Sofia may act as American representative in Bulgaria, his predecessors
having for many years kindly looked after American interests in that
country. I therefore respectfully request that you will ask the foreign
office in London to allow the British consul-general in Sofia to act as
American representative, and that you will request the foreign office to
issue its instructions accordingly; the above preliminary steps being
necessary before I obtain the vizieral letter from the Sublime Porte
sanctioning such intervention.
I have, etc.,
- A. W. Terrell,
- E. E. and M. P.
