Mr. Adee to Baron Saurma.

Department of State,
Washington, September 22, 1893.

Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 15th instant, from which it appears that the British ambassador at Berlin has expressed the concurrence of Her Majesty’s Government in regard to a leave of absence of two months in each year for Mr. Henry C. Ide, late named as chief justice of Samoa.

It is also stated that the British Government is willing to assume its pro rata share of Mr. Ide’s traveling expenses, which includes himself and his family as presented in my note of the 1st instant, as well as the traveling expenses of Mr. Schmidt, agreed upon as municipal president.

It is gratifying to the Department to learn that these details have been satisfactorily arranged.

Accept, etc.,

Alvey A. Adee,
Acting Secretary.
