Mr. Lowell to Earl Granville.
Legation of the United States, London, June 1, 1880.
Immediate.]
My Lord: I have received unofficial information that the hoard of admiralty have decided upon offering the supplies stored north of Cape York by the English Arctic expedition now organizing under the direction of the United States signal office. I have been instructed by the Department of State to apply for a full list of these stores, which the humanity of Her Majesty’s Government and their generous interest in the cause of Arctic discovery have induced them to offer to be transmitted to Lieutenant Greely at St. John’s, Newfoundland. I have the honor to request that your lordship will have the goodness to cause me to be supplied with this list at as early a period as may be convenient.
I have, &c.,
J. R. LOWELL.
