Mr. Williams to Mr. Adee.

No. 2558.]

Sir: I have the honor to inclose a copy of a letter, dated the 5th instant, received at this office to-day from Messrs. Teodoro Perez & Co., of West Tampa, Fla., asking me to acknowledge the receipt of a draft of $150, the same which I returned through the Department in my dispatch No. 2543, on the 27th ultimo. I beg the Department to proceed with the present case as in its judgment it may deem best.

As the family of Mr. Sanguily resides in this city, I would recommend Messrs. Teodoro Perez & Co. to address him through it. At any rate, it would be highly injudicious and indiscreet on the part of this office to become the medium for the transmission and delivery of the private correspondence of those gentlemen.

I am, etc.,

Ramon O. Williams,
Consul-General.
[Inclosure 1 in No. 2558.]

Messrs. Teodoro Perez Co. to Mr. Williams.

Dear Sir: On July 25 we addressed you a letter inclosing a draft for $150, to be delivered to Mr. Julio Sanguily.

Will you be kind to acknowledge receipt of same.

Yours, respectfully,

Teodoro Perez & Co.
