Mr. Foster to Mr. von Holleben.

Department of State,
Washington, January 17, 1893.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 12th instant, in which you state that your Government has agreed to the proposition made by the British Government that the consuls of the three treaty powers at Apia should instruct Baron Senfft von Pilsach to submit to them a statement of his financial accounts. I had previously received a note from Her Britannic Majesty’s minister at this capital, dated the 11th instant, making the same proposal, to which I promptly acceded. A copy of Sir Julian’s note and of my reply thereto,* the 14th instant, I have the honor to send herewith.

Accept, sir, etc.,

John W. Foster.
