No. 193. Sir Edward Thornton to Mr. Davis.
Washington, July 9, 1873. (Received July 9.)
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I have just received a telegram from Earl Granville, stating that recent reports from Dr. Kirk, Her Majesty’s consul at Zanzibar, bear testimony to the cordial assistance afforded by the vice-consul of the United States in procuring the signature by his highness the Sultan of Zanzibar of the treaty relating to the slave-trade, and instructing me to thank the Secretary of State of the United States for the valuable co-operation of their agent.
I have much pleasure in informing you of the contents of Lord Granville’s message, and shall feel much obliged to you if you will make Mr. Fish acquainted with them.
I have, &c.,
EDW’D THORNTON.
