Mr. Adee to Sir Julian Pauncefote.

Department of State,
Washington, September 21, 1893.

Dear Sir Julian: In the absence of the Seretary I have to say, in reply to your note of the 18th instant, requesting to be informed as to what date the U. S. land commissioner for Samoa may be expected to reach his post, that Mr. Ormsbee having resigned, his successor, Mr. William Lea Chambers, of Alabama, has been nominated and will probably be able to sail from San Francisco for Samoa by steamer leaving October 20.

Very truly, yours,

Alvey A. Adee.
