Hammond to Under-Secretary of State
Foreign Office
3 May 1870
Sir,
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.
Minutes by CO staff
Mr Herbert
The usual course, the proposed U. States Consul being non-resident in the Colony, the answer wd be that Lord Granville is not aware of any objection.

But I am told that in Canada even in such a case a reference is
made to the Govr in the 1t instance as the U.S. Govt are
ready
to fix a Consul at any small place. The same rule may be
desirable as regards B. Columbia—tho' I think not in the case
of Victoria, the place now in question.
