Mr. Bliss to Mr. Sherman.

Sir: Your letter of the 10th instant has been received, inclosing a copy of a dispatch from the United States minister at Tokyo, in relation to the refusal of the Japanese Government to allow graduates of the Laura Memorial Women’s Medical College, of Cincinnati, Ohio, to practice medicine in Japan without examination, and requesting a statement showing the standing, etc., of this college.

I have the honor to state that your letter, together with the accompanying dispatch, has been referred to the Commissioner of Education for consideration and report, after which you will be duly notified.

Very, respectfully,

C. N. Bliss.
