Mr. Day to Mr. Cambon.
Washington , June 22, 1898 .
Excellency: I have the honor to inform you that, after carefully considering your note of the 9th instant, upon the question whether cordials are included in the commercial agreement between the United States and France of May 28, 1898, I deemed it advisable to submit the matter to the consideration of my colleague the Secretary of the Treasury.
I have accordingly transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury a copy of your note, together with a copy of the memorandum which Mr. Kasson presented to your on the 4th of June, in relation to the subject of difference.
Should you desire to make any oral representations to the Treasury, I will endeavor to have a time appointed at which such representations may be submitted either by yourself or by such person as you may designate for the purpose.
I inclose herewith for your information a copy of my letter to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Accept, excellency, etc.,
