The Secretary of State to the British Ambassador (Geddes)
Excellency: In further reply to your note No. 939 of December 21, 1921, in relation to the injuries alleged to have been sustained by two British subjects, Messrs. T. J. Steele and Douglas [Dugal] McPhail, at the hands of Dominican bandits in September 1921, I have the honor to enclose a copy and translation of a note69 from the Dominican Foreign Office to the American Legation at Santo Domingo, in which the Foreign Office expresses the opinion that these British subjects are without good grounds in preferring a claim against the Dominican Government, and points out that such a claim is cognizable by the courts of the Dominican Republic.
Accept [etc.]
