Sir: In reply to your note of the 25th ultimo, I have the honor to inform you that a translation of it has been sent to the consul-general of the United States at Cairo, with instructions to follow the suggestions in your note to inform such Swiss citizens as may put themselves under his protection that he will be able only to extend unofficially his good offices in their behalf in case of need. He has also been directed to instruct the consular agent at Alexandria in that sense.

Accept, etc.,
