And I may add. while on that subject. (and there is another gentleman here who knows the same difficulties exist at other capitals of Europe.) that at Vienna instead of one secretary of legation being too much. a clerk was employed in addition. at private expense. and paid at the rate of one thousand gulden a year. to help out the work of the legation. There is an immense private correspondence. I should not say private but personal correspondeuce. going on all the time with persons seeking to emigrate to the United States from different parts of the country. or naturalized citizens wanting information relative to the United States. or their rights. letters never reported to the Department at Washington. and answers to be written by a secretary or clerk who knows the alien language in which they are written. There are large files of these letters. At Vienna. for example. there is necessity for a secretary or clerk who speaks Hungarian as well as German.
