Mr. Loomis to Sir M. H Herbert.

Your Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of March 13, respecting certain suggestions for carrying out the purposes of the second article of the Alaska convention.

In reply permit me to say that the matter is now under consideration, and it is hoped that a definite answer may be given you in a few days.

Believe me, your excellency, very truly, yours,

Francis B. Loomis,
Acting Secretary of State.
