No. 63.
Mr. Herbert to Mr. Bayard.

Sir: With reference to your note of September 27 last, respecting the sale of four British vessels condemned for taking seals illicitly in Behring Sea, in 1887, I have the honor to state that I have this day instructions from the Marquis of Salisbury to inform you that the owners of the Ada do not object to the original appraisement.

I have, etc.

Arthur Herbert

For
M. H. Herbert.
