Mr. Foster to Mr. Herbert.

Department of State,
Washington, September 27, 1892.

Sir: I have the honor to send you a copy of a note under date of August 13 which I have received from the German chargé in this city, relative to a proposed fee of $5, which it is understood the chief justice of Samoa intends to impose for the registration of every separate title to land. I also inclose a copy of my reply, and should be glad to be informed of the opinion of Her Majesty’s Government upon this subject.

I have, etc.,

John W. Foster.
