Minister Furniss to the Secretary of State .

American Legation,
Port au Prince , January 6, 1906 .
No. 2.]

Sir: I am in receipt of dispatch No. 3,a of December 1, 1905, in which the department makes certain suggestions relative to the license fee of American merchants of Syrian origin established in Haiti.

In reply I beg leave to state that in view of the fact that I have been assured that all Syrians of British naturalization have been granted licenses, I have deemed it proper to take the matter up with the Haitian Government relative to the licensing of our citizens and hope for a favorable settlement of the same.

I have, etc.,

H. W. Furniss.
