5258. MINISTERS (Foreign), Reception of.—
The Secretary of State has the honor to
inform the Minister of France that the President
will receive his letters of credence to-day
at half after two: that this will be done in a
room of private audience, without any ceremony
whatever, or other person present than
the Secretary of State, this being the usage
which will be observed. As the Secretary of
State will be with the President before that
hour on business, the Minister will find him
there.—
