Mr. Olney to Mr. Eustis.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge yours of November 7, with copies inclosed relating to the Waller case.

I have read with special interest and satisfaction your communication of the 7th instant to his excellency Mr. Berthelot, minister of foreign affairs. It is a very lucid and able presentation of the reasonable request of this Government that the record of the proceedings in the Waller case shall be produced for its inspection.

I have, etc.,

Richard Olney
