Mr. Hale to Mr. Hay.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the Department’s No. 60, of the 14th instant, inclosing a copy of a letter from Hon. C. B. Landis, with inclosure, relating further to the attempt of the Sterling Remedy Company to establish itself in Vienna.

Referring to the Department’s original instruction in this matter, No. 57, of the 28th ultimo, I have the honor to inform you that on the 11th instant, as per instruction, the above case was presented to the Imperial and Royal Government, but as yet the imperial and royal ministry for foreign affairs has not replied to this embassy’s protest.

I have, etc.,

Chandler Hale.
