SIR: I have the honor to transmit to you herewith a report on opium, made by a committee of the National Academy of Sciences, in compliance with the request contained in your communication dated May 3, 1887. I will return by a later mail the remaining portion of the sample of opium analyzed. Very respectfully, O. C. MARSH, President of the National Academy of Sciences. Hon. C. S. FAIRCHILD, Secretary of the Treasury. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Washington, D. C., May 3, 1887. SIR: I transmit to your address, under another cover, a sample taken from a lot of prepared opium seized at Port Huron, Mich., on the ground that it had been smuggled. With a view of determining the precise character of this article, it is deemed important that it should be analyzed to ascertain what percentage of morphia it contains. Will you kindly cause such analysis to be made, under the direction of the National Academy of Sciences, and inform me of the result at your earliest convenience? It is requested that such portion of the sample as is not consumed in the analysis be returned. The package is marked in red figures number 23,133, and in black, 5,701e. Respectfully, yours, C. S. FAIRCHILD, Secretary. Prof. O. C. MARSH, President National Academy of Sciences, Yale College, New Haven, Conn. |
