My dear Mr. Strong:
In the temporary absence of the Collector, who is to-day in Boston, I am in receipt of your letter of January 13th. This will be placed before the Collector on his return to the office on Monday.
For your information, however, I may state that you will have no trouble at all in regard to your fur coat, on your return to this country, provided that the coat is not made of fur seal taken in certain waters in the Pacific Ocean north of the thirtieth parallel of latitude, which is prohibited from importation under Treasury Department regulations. Your statement to the inspector on arrival, that the coat was taken out with you, will be sufficient.
I know that the Collector will wish that you will let him know on what steamer you will return, so that he may make arrangements for the immediate examination of your baggage.
Private Secretary.
