Mr. Johnson to Lord Clarendon

Legation of the United States, London, February 15, 1869.

My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship’s answer to my official note of the 27th of January. As the arrangement which her Majesty has sanctioned in relation to court costume in no way conflicts with the resolution of Congress of March, 1867, it is entirely satisfactory and will be complied with by myself and the other members of this legation.

I have the honor to remain, with high regard, your lordship’s most obedient servant,

REVERDY JOHNSON.

The Right Honorable Earl of Clarendon, &c., &c., &c.
