Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 9, 1891

Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Adee.

[Personal.]

British Legation,
Washington, May 21, 1891.

Dear Mr. Adee: I regret that I am not yet in a position to answer the inquiry of the President communicated to me in your letter of yesterday; but, immediately on its receipt, I telegraphed the substance of its contents to the Marquis of Salisbury, and I hope to receive in the course of to-day a telegram from his lordship in reply.

You may rely on my using the utmost expedition in the matter.

I remain, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
