Foreign Office, May 14, 1872.

[From British Blue Book “North America,” No. 9, (1872,) p. 20.]

Sir: I asked General Schenck to-day whether it would not be desirable to draught the identic note, to be addressed by the British and United States Agents to the Arbitrators, communicating to them the Treaty Article if it should be concluded.

General Schenck assented to this suggestion.

I am, &c.,

GRANVILLE.
