No. 208. Sir Edward Thornton to Mr. Evarts.
Washington, April 18, 1878. (Received April 19.)
Sir: In compliance with an instruction which I have received from the Earl of Derby, I have the honor to inform you that the governor of New Zealand, at the instance of his ministers, has requested that the thanks of the colony may be conveyed to the Government of the United States for the very handsome and effective manner in which salmon ova have been shipped to New Zealand by the Fishery Commission of the United States, under the direction of the chief commissioner, the Hon. Spencer F. Baird.
I have the honor to transmit herewith copy of the dispatch and of its inclosure upon this subject from the governor of New Zealand to the secretary of state for the colonies.
I have, &c.,
EDWARD THORNTON.
