Sir: I transmit herewith a copy of Lord
Granville’s note to me of the 30th May, communicating, on the part of
Her Majesty’s Government, another amended draught Article, received at
2.45 yesterday morning, and of which, both note and amended Article, I
sent you the full text by telegraph early the same morning.
I transmit also a copy of my note to Lord Granville, acknowledging the
receipt of the above-mentioned communication, and informing him that I
would immediately telegraph his note and the new draught to you; and a
copy of my note to him sent at midnight last night, conveying to him a
copy of your telegram of yesterday received at that hour.
It is now afternoon, and I have as yet heard nothing from his Lordship in
answer, or in relation, to that telegram.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

I will hasten to communicate your note and the draught to Mr. Fish by
