Mr. Raikes to Mr. Loomis.

[Personal.]

Dear Mr. Loomis; I have the honor to inform you that I have received a telegram from Mr. Sifton stating that Mr. Pope will arrive in Washington on July 7 in order to inspect the documents of which use has been made in the preparation of the United States case to be laid before the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal.

I have the honour to be, dear Mr. Loomis, yours, very truly,

Arthur S. Raikes.
