Hammond to Under-Secretary of State

I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to transmit to you, to be
laid before Earl Granville, a copy of a Note from the United
States' Minister at this Court stating that Mr David Eckstein
has been appointed United States' Consul at Victoria, and
requesting that Her Majesty's Exequatur may be issued to that
gentleman to enable him to act in the above capacity; and I am
to request that you will move Lord Granville to inform Lord
Clarendon if there is any objection to the issue of such
Exequatur to Mr Eckstein.
