No. 643.
General Sickles to Mr. Fish.
[Telegram.]
Madrid, November 23,
1873.
Your instruction of this date received.
Have cabled to Schenck an unofficial note I wrote minister on the 6th. It will be repeated to you from London. I cannot but feel you will attach some importance to the timely and considerate intimation then conveyed in the most friendly manner to this government.
SICKLES.
