WASHINGTON, September 17, 1889. 
On the 11th instant I had the honour to receive your Lordship’s 
telegram informing me that it would be better that I should write 
privately to Mr. Blaine, saying that Her Majesty’s Government were 
earnestly expecting an answer to their request that the United States 
Government would send to Alaska such instructions as would put a 
stop to the seizures of British vessels, the reports of which seizures 
were causing much excitement both in England and Canada. 
I now have the honour to inclose herewith a copy of the private 
letter which, in accordance with the terms of your Lordship’s above 
telegrams, I addressed to Mr. Blaine on the 12th instant.
