Mr. Uhl to Sir Julian Pauncefote.
Washington, June 1, 1894.
Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 28th ultimo, saying that Her Majesty’s Government accedes to the proposition to pay Mr. Henry C. Ide, chief justice of Samoa, an additional $1,000 to defray his traveling and removal expenses, and that as soon as you are advised that an arrangement in this sense has been effected, you are prepared to pay over the sum of $333.34, being the share due from Her Majesty’s Government.
Upon the receipt of a note from his excellency the German ambassador, stating that His Imperial Majesty’s Government assents to the proposition, it will give me pleasure to notify you, to the end that the British quota may be transmitted as you propose.
I have, etc.,
Acting Secretary.
