Letter

Robert C. Schenck to Granville Leveson-Gower, May 18, 1872

No. 56. General Schenck to Earl Granville.

[Extract.]

[From British Blue Book “North America,” No. 9, (1872,) p. 21.]

It appears to me that, when you instruct Sir Edward Thornton in regard to signing the Treaty, if it should be concluded, it would be as well to have the joint note to the Arbitrators, bringing it to their notice, signed at the same time by him and Mr. Fish.

If it were not for the greater convenience, and saving of time when time may be precious, I confess I should have been glad if you and I could have put our hands and seals to it together.
