Mr. Tsui to Mr. Wharton .
Washington , June 8, 1891 .
Sir: If you wish me to communicate by telegraph to my Government the subject of our conversation which we had together this morning, I beg that you will kindly send me a copy of the telegram* in question.
In my humble opinion, Mr. Denby, the United States minister at Peking, is attending to the matter, and even my telegraphic dispatch would not be prompt enough, and it might be as well for me to communicate by writing. Let me know, therefore, whether you desire me to send a telegraphic dispatch; if so, I will do so in compliance with your wishes.
I have, etc.,
- Mr. Denby’s telegram of June 7, 1891.↩
