Mr. Secretary of State: His Majesty’s minister of foreign affairs, to whom I hastened to communicate the contents of the note of your honorable Department of the 30th of August last, instructs me to thank your excellency for this communication, and at the same time to announce the adhesion of the King’s Government to the rules established by agreement between the Federal Government and that of Her Britannic Majesty for the regulation of seal fishing in Bering Sea.

I therefore have the honor, in obedience to the instructions which I have received, to communicate the foregoing to your excellency, and I avail myself, at the same time, of this occasion to renew to you, Mr. Secretary of State, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Fava.
