File No. 3507.
The Acting Secretary of State to Ambassador Meyer.
Department of State,
Washington, January 11, 1907.
No. 204.]Washington, January 11, 1907.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 717, of the 15th ultimo, reporting the application of Clemens Belling for a passport.
From the facts stated he appears to be an American citizen by birth, and the animus revertendi is alleged.
[Page 976]There seems to be no circumstances which show an establishment in any other country. The nature of his calling, that of a circus performer, is such that his life must be nomadic.
The department is of opinion that a passport should be granted him.
I am, etc.,
Robert Bacon.
