Mr. Howell to Mr. Day.
Washington, June 28, 1898.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the letter of Acting Secretary Moore, dated the 27th instant, inclosing a copy of a note from the French ambassador, dated the 24th instant, in which he states that he has requested his first secretary, Mr. Thiébaut, to represent him at a hearing before this Department on a question arising under the recent French reciprocal commercial arrangement under section 3 of the act of July 24, 1897.
In reply, I beg to state that Mr. Thiébaut called at the Department yesterday, and that I have made an appointment to meet him to-morrow, the 29th instant, at 11 o’clock a.m.
Respectfully, yours,
Assistant Secretary.
