Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Blaine.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 19th instant on the subject of the refusal of the Canadian Government to admit citizens of the United States to the privilege of registration of copyright in Canada.

I have forwarded copies of this note to the Marquis of Salisbury and to the Governor-General of Canada, and I shall have the honor of addressing a further communication to you on the subject on the receipt of their replies.

I have, etc.,
