Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Day.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your note No. 1054 of the 15th instant, inclosing copy of the act of Congress of the 15th instant making an appropriation to pay the Bering Sea awards. I have transmitted copy of this note to the Marquis of Salisbury, by whom, I doubt not, the payment by check, which has since been adopted, will be entirely approved.

I have, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
