The Secretary of State to the Minister in Liberia (Walton)
27. Your No. 45, July 2, 10 a.m. Department will engross final text and endeavor to send it via London next week.
It understands that the changes to be made from the present engrossed text are (1) comma before “or permitted to be imported or sold” in Article IX, paragraph 2, line 11, (2) introducing Article XIV by the words “merchant or private vessels”, and (3) omission of Article XXII and renumbering subsequent articles. Department would like to have agreement of Liberian Government to insert “other” before “private” in number (2) so that phrase will read “merchant or other private vessels”.
Please confirm foregoing three points promptly by telegraph.
