Letter from Herbert Vivian (The Pleasaunce, Woking, [Surrey]) to WSC enclosing a letter from his father-in- law, Frederick Walton [see CHAR 2/35/17], in connection with Vivian's application for an exequatur from the Foreign Office on his appointment as Montenegrin Consul in London. Explains that the matter stemmed from a Bulgarian officer not having paid the sum due to Vivian after a game of baccarat in Sofia. Mentions that a exequatur was given to an undischarged bankrupt who is now the Consul-General in London for the Serbian regicides.
