No. 33.]

Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 25, of the 27th ultimo, in regard to the case of the Ansonia Clock Company, whose clocks were refused admission into Italy.

The company advisés the Department that the package of clocks was forwarded by Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express on July 2, with the understanding that they would reach you by the 12th of that month.

They have requested the express company to investigate the matter.

Respectfully, yours,

John Sherman.
