Lord Granville to Mr. Lowell.

Foreign Office, August 22, 1883.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 2d ultimo, in which you give notice that the provisions of Articles XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, and XXX of the treaty of May 8, 1871, between Great Britain and the United States, will terminate and he of no force on the expiration of two years next after the date of the said notice.

In accepting this notice on behalf of Her Majesty’s Government, I have the honor to inquire whether Her Majesty’s Government correctly understand the intention of the United States Government to be that the provisions of Article XXXII, which relate to Newfoundland, shall cease to be in force and operation at the same time as the articles recited in the notice, which relate to the Dominion of Canada.

I have, &c.,

GRANVILLE.
