7714 APPENDIX TO CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 
should not be delivered to us here so as to enable us to ship them with the Com- 
pany’s skins taken under their lease this season, we could not get them in 
26 London in time for our fallsale, were they tendered the Company at San Fran- 
cisco after the cutter’s arrival from Alaska in the fall. Being thus deprived of 
the skins, a heavy loss to the Company in prospective profits would result, which 
loss we would feel should be made good to us by the Government of the United 
States. 
IT respectfully request you to communicate to me in writing the result of your con- 
clusions in the matter. 
Iam, &c.

OFFICE OF SPECIAL AGENT, TREASURY DEPARTMENT, 
St. Paul Island, July 8, 1890. 
DrAR Sir: Your communication of later date, in which you ask permission to assort 
and examine the skins of the seals killed for food during the winter of 1889 and 1890, 
and to take such as you may adjudge acceptable to your Company as part of your 
season’s catch for this year, has been carefully considered and your request respect- 
fully declined, as I have no option in the matter other than to strictly obey the 
orders of the Secretary of the Treasury. 
T avail myself of this opportunity to notify you that on and after the 20th July I 
shall require you to conform to that clanse in my instructions which prevents killing 
of fur-seals for their skins after that date. 
Respectfully yours,
