No. 1400.]

Sir: I inclose herewith for your examination and report copy of a letter¹ from Messrs. Seropian Brothers, brokers and commission merchants at Fresno, Cal., relative to information that has reached them that they are to be deprived of certain real estate in Marsovan on the ground that “no citizen of the United States has a right to inherit or own real estate in Turkey.”

Respectfully, yours,

John Sherman.
