204 CORRESPONDENCE, ETC., 



the translation of which I forwarded to you in my No. 1G9. I now 

 transmit a i; press " copy of the notice itself which was delivered 

 to his lordship. 



Upon receiving the check arid the notice. Lord Salisbury handed to 

 me a note acknowledging the receipt of both, a copy of which I here- 

 with inclose. 



Immediately after this transaction I prepared and sent to you a 

 full account of it by cable. 



Several hours afterwards I received a telegram conveying to me 

 your wishes in that respect, which 1 had thus already anticipated. 



I inclose a slip from the Daily News in relation to this payment, 

 which, I am happy to say, is fairer in its tone than many of the 

 extracts I have had occasion to forward. 



I have, &c., JOHN WELSH.
