In testimony whereof I have caused these letters to be made patent and the seal of the United States of America to be hereunto affixed.

To all whom it may concern: 

An exequatur, bearing date the 1st day of July, 1865, having been issued to S.M.  Svenson, recognizing him as vice-consul of Sweden and Norway at New Orleans and declaring him free to exercise and enjoy such functions, powers, and privileges as are allowed to vice-consuls by the law of nations or by the laws of the United States and existing treaty stipulations between the Government of Sweden and Norway and the United States; but as it is deemed advisable that the said S.M.  Svenson should no longer be permitted to continue in the exercise of said functions, powers, and privileges: 

These are therefore to declare that I no longer recognize the said S.M.  Svenson as vice-consul of Sweden and Norway at New Orleans and will not permit him to exercise or enjoy any of the functions, powers, or privileges allowed to a consular officer of that nation; and that I do hereby wholly revoke and annul the said exequatur heretofore given and do declare the same to be absolutely null and void from this day forward.

In testimony whereof I have caused these letters to be made patent and the seal of the United States of America to be hereunto affixed.
