Your suggestion was unauthorized and is regretted and disapproved. You are to receive any representations or information on the subject of the treaty, or of pending difficulties, and report them here, but to abstain from discussion or suggestion unless under specific instruction. All negotiation on the extradition question will be conducted here.
Should Winslow be given up, you will perform the appropriate duties, but say nothing to compromit this Government, or to further embarrass the general question.
FISH, Secretary.
