Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Sherman.

British Embassy,
Washington, March 30, 1897.

Dear Mr. Secretary: I have been requested to inquire, unofficially, whether it is the intention of the President of the United States to send a special mission of congratulation on the occasion of the celebration, in June next, of the sixtieth anniversary of the Queen’s accession to the throne.

I should be greatly obliged if you could enable me to give Lord Salisbury the information desired.

I remain, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
