Granville to Robert C. Schenck, May 17, 1872

No. 55. Earl Granville to General Schenck.

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

My Dear General Schenck: If the Senate agree with the President of the United States to adopt the proposed Treaty Article, I shall instruct Sir Edward Thornton to sign it, in order to save time.

I shall be glad to have your opinion as to how the same object could be obtained with regard to the notes communicating the Treaty Article to the Tribunal of Geneva, of which we agreed I had better prepare a draft.

Should I remit it to you or to Sir Edward Thornton?

Yours, sincerely,
