Sir M. H. Herbert to Mr. Hay.

[Personal.]

Dear Mr. Secretary: With reference to my personal note of this morning, marked “immediate,” I hasten to inform you that the British agent desires to examine or take photographs of the originals of all documents printed on pages 345–550 of the Appendix to the United States case, in addition to those mentioned in the list already sent you.

These additional documents include “Papers relating to American occupation,” “Geographical and topographical information relative to southeastern Alaska,” and “Miscellaneous documents, etc.”

I am, dear Mr. Secretary, yours, very truly,

Michael H. Herbert.
