Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 7, 1896, and the Annual Report of the Secretary of State

Mr. Breckinridge to Mr. Olney.

Legation of the United States,
St. Petersburg, October 10, 1896. (Received Oct. 22.)

No. 407.]

Sir: Referring to my No. 379, of September 2, I now have the honor to inclose copy of a letter of the 7th instant from our consul at Warsaw, saying that Mr. Henry Topor, whom the Russian Government had consented to release on account of incurable illness and mental unsoundness, upon condition that he be furnished an escort to the United States, has already left for America.

This brings to an end my efforts to facilitate Mr. Topor’s departure, and I presume closes the case.

I have, etc.,

Clifton R. Breckinridge.

[Inclosure in No. 407.]
