Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 1, 1884

No. 461.
Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. Baker.

Department of State,
Washington, June 19, 1884.

No. 312.]

Sir: Your No. 941, of the 1st instant, relative to the claim of Mr. John E. Wheelock, has been received.

Your declaration to the minister for foreign affairs in regard to Mr. Wheelock’s case was perhaps timely, and does at Caracas what my note to Mr. Soteldo, the Venezuelan minister at this capital, does here, namely, requires a final disposition of the case. You will not, however, address any more arguments to the Venezuelan Government regarding the subject unless instructed by the Department to do so.

I am, &c.,

FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
