Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 7, 1896, and the Annual Report of the Secretary of State

Lord Gough to Mr. Adee.

British Embassy,
Newport R. I. , August 8, 1896 .

My Dear Mr. Adee: On the 17th ultimo the Secretary of State wrote unofficially to Sir Julian Pauncefote to inquire whether Her Majesty’s consul-general had received any instructions from the board of trade respecting the shipment of cattlemen at New York.

His excellency at once wrote to the consul-general to ask whether he had yet heard from the board of trade on the subject, and I now learn that he has not yet received their reply.

I shall not fail to communicate with you again as soon as I hear of the receipt of the instructions in question.

Believe me, etc.,

Gough.
