No. 63.]

Sir: I inclose for your information copy of a letter from the Hon. Ebenezer J. Hill,^* a member of the House of Representatives from the State of Connecticut, inclosing a communication from Messrs. E. A.Mallory & Sons, of Danbury, in that State, stating that Peter Hornik, a naturalized American citizen of Hungarian birth, who went to his native country in November last for the purpose of bringing his family to the United States, has been notified by the Austro-Hungarian authorities to appear for military service.

You are instructed to make inquiries in the proper quarter in regard to the case, with a view to taking such action with reference thereto as the facts may be found to warrant.

Respectfully, yours,

John Sherman.
