Sir: In your note, No. 50, of May 1 you were good enough to inform me that it was the intention of the United States Government to [Page 569] make no charge upon His Majesty’s Government for the stores supplied to the Jamaican government on the occasion of the recent earthquake. I communicated this decision to my Government, and I am now directed by His Majesty’s principal secretary of state for foreign affairs to convey to the United States Government an expression of cordial thanks for their generosity in this matter.

I have, etc.,

James Bryce.
