KAISERLICH DEUTSCHES KONSULAT 



To the President of Michigan Agricultural College: 



Dear Sir: I am directed by the Imperial Foreign Office to 

 transmit to you and through you to the Board of Control of 

 Michigan Agricultural College the best thanks of His Excellency 

 the Royal Prussian Minister of Agriculture at Berlin for the 

 kind invitation you tendered the Department of Agriculture, 

 and his regrets that the plans heretofore laid out for the period 

 in question did not permit the sending of a special representative 

 of His Excellency to participate in the celebration of the Fiftieth 

 Anniversary of your institution. 



I hear with interest that you had the kindness to invite Mr. 

 Nicola Kaumanns attached as agricultural attache to the United 

 States to the consulate at Chicago. Through him I will hear 

 about the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Michigan 

 Agricultural College. 



I have the honor to remain, dear Sir, 



Yours very respectfully, 



W. Wever 



Imperial German Consul-General
