Hammond to Under-Secretary of State

In reply to your letter of the 24th instant, I am directed by
The Earl of Clarendon to transmit to you, in compliance with
your request, three copies of the Convention respecting San Juan
which was recently signed by Lord Clarendon and the United
States Minister at this Court.

I am, however, to request that you will state to Earl Granville
that Lord Clarendon would suggest that this Convention should
not be sent, as proposed by Lord Granville, to the Governors of
Canada and British Columbia, until it is known what decision the
Government of the United States have come to in regard to it.
