Robert C. Schenck to Hamilton Fish, June 29, 1871
No. 211.
General Schenck to Mr. Fish
No. 14.]
Legation of the United States, London, June 29, 1871. (Received July 12.)
Sir: Yesterday I received, by a messenger from the Foreign Office, a hurried note from Lord Granville, informing me of the success of the forces of the United States against the Coreans. I immediately telegraphed the news to you. In the London morning papers I see that you had the same intelligence yesterday at Washington; but I thought it too important not to make sure of your getting it at the earliest possible moment.
Copies of the note of Lord Granville and of my telegram to you are sent herewith, and my acknowledgment to Lord Granville.
I have, &c.,
ROB’T C. SCHENCK.
