Letter
Wickham Hoffman to Edward Henry Stanley, June 9, 1876
[Inclosure 2 in No. 104.]
Mr. Hoffman to Lord Derby.
Legation of the United States, London, June 9, 1876.
My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of “correspondence respecting extradition,” which your lordship has had the goodness to send me.
Referring to Lord Tenterden’s note to Mr. Tiddell, (No. 229,) I beg to correct a misapprehension as to the suggestion therein referred to as made by me.
Speaking of the chances of making a new treaty and the difficulties in the way, I ventured to suggest that, if we should find it impossible to agree upon all the articles of a new treaty, we might amend the old one by adding to it such articles as we were agreed upon. I had no intention to suggest a particular amendment as the means of meeting the present difficulty.
I have, &c.,
WICKHAM HOFFMAN.
