I send this minute to you without further

delay thinking you would like an early reply but I shall be happy, if you wish, to discuss the matter further with you after the Indian drugging case in which I am engaged on Monday is concluded.

(Sd.) W. M. Goodman.

26.2.98.

P. S. I notice that in Wheaton's Internation-

al Law 8th. Edition 152 there is a note to this effect "A

Statute of the United States of 1860, gives efficacy to mar- riages before American Consuls as if celebrated at home".

This I presume applies to American Citizens only.

(Sa), M. Goodman.
