Mr. Hay to Sir M. H. Herbert.

No. 138.]

Excellency: I have the honor to advise you that the agent of the United States before the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal expects to deliver at your embassy on July 3 the duplicate copies of the counter case and Appendix of the United States required by the treaty, and in addition thereto twenty-two copies of the same.

He will be pleased to receive an equal number of copies of the British counter case and Appendix, if it suits the convenience of the British agent.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, your excellency’s most obedient servant,

John Hay.
