Granville to Robert C. Schenck, May 17, 1873

[Inclosure No. 1.]

Earl Granville to General Schenck.

Sir: With reference to the conversation which passed between us some days ago with regard to a consular convention between Great Britain and the United States, in which you incidentally remarked that there should be a power of administering oaths in each country, I have to state to you that the subject of consular attributes is receiving the attention of Her Majesty’s government, and that I shall have the honor of communicating with you upon it when I am in possession of the materials to enable me to do so.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,

GRANVILLE.

General Schenck, &c., &c., &c.
