to in dispatch No. 1665 is not unlawful though
it may be erroneous in point of fact. It is for
the aggrieved party to produce proof of error
and ask that the judgment be set aside, and
while the embassy should not be burdened
with such cases, it is entirely proper that it
should give its good offices.
