Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Gresham.

Newport, September 18, 1893.

Sir: With reference to my note of the 12th instant, I am directed by the Earl of Rosebery to inclose a check for $500, which I am authorized to pay to your Government as the contribution of Her Majesty’s Government toward the traveling expenses of Mr. Ide, the new chief justice at Apia, in accordance with the understanding arrived at that the sum of $1,500 allotted to that gentleman for the above purpose shall be equally divided between the three treaty powers.

Lord Rosebery is of opinion that it is advisable that these payments should be made by the three governments simultaneously, and I am directed to request that I may be furnished with a receipt from Mr. Ide for the amount contributed by Her Majesty’s Government.

I have, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
