Possibly however it might be well at once to draw the attention of the French Government to our Treaty obligations with regard to Chusan without waiting for any specific assurance on the subject.
In alluding to a copy of despatch 3260 some hint might be made whether it is thought desirable.
4/3 "We had better leave the French in occupation & Judge of this when they have read despatch 3260 as already sent. The first Income to this letter shows that the DC is quite aware of the guarantee. I agree.
