Sir: On June 23 I had the honor of leaving at the State Department a memorandum respecting the leasing to the British North Borneo Company of certain small islands off the coast of Borneo.

I have now received a dispatch from His Majesty’s secretary of state for foreign affairs, inquiring what progress has been made in the matter, and accordingly I have the honor to ask you to be so good as to inform me whether it has yet been found possible to come to any decision as to the proposals set forth in the memorandum referred to above.
