Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 4, 1876

No. 136.
Mr. Hoffman to Mr. Fish.

[Telegram.]

London, May 28, 1876.

In conversation with Tenterden about future negotiations for a new treaty and difficulties in the way, I suggested that if we could not agree upon all the terms of a new treaty, we might amend old treaty by adding to it the articles upon which we were agreed. Suggestion as regards Winslow proceeds entirely from British government.

Reported substance of conversation by mail Saturday.

HOFFMAN.
