No. 52.
Earl Granville to Sir E. Thornton.

Foreign Office, May 16, 1872.

[From British Blue Book “North America,” No. 9, (1872,) p. 20.]

Sir: As you have informed me by telegraph that the correspondence which has passed between Her Majesty’s Government and the Government of the United States, respecting the claims for indirect losses put forward in the Case presented on the part of the United States to the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva, has been presented to open Congress by Mr. Fish, I have to state to you that the correspondence will also be published in a supplement to the London Gazette of to-morrow, together with the dispatch which I addressed to you on the 13th instant, commenting, for your information, on some of the historical parts of Mr. Fish’s last dispatch.

I mentioned to General Schenck that this would probably be done. You have been informed of the substance of this dispatch by telegraph.

I am, &c.,

GRANVILLE.
