File No. 14148/3.

Minister Furniss to the Secretary of State.

No. 417.]

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of the department’s No. 126 of July 23, 1908, and in reply thereto have to say that since my representation to the Haitian Government, as stated in my No. 389 of June 3, 1908, there has been no further cause for complaint in so far as the treatment of Americans who have made application for Haitian permits to leave Haiti.

Should there be any further difficulties the department’s instructions above mentioned will be used as a basis for settlement of the same.

I have, etc.

H. W. Furniss.
