The American Ambassador presents his compliments to Sir Edward Grey and, in acknowledgment of his Note of the 18th instant relating to the subject of the International Opium Commission, regrets to observe that apparently there has been some misunderstanding on the part of His Majesty's Government with reference to Mr. Reid's Note of the 12th instant.

The proposal embodied in the Note last mentioned is intended by the American Government to be an addition to, rather than a substitute for, Clause 3 of the draft instructions suggested in Mr. Reid's Note of the 8th of May last, nor is it intended that any Clause mentioned therein should be superseded.

In order to avoid any further doubt with respect to this matter Mr. Reid has the honour to inform Sir Edward Grey that the American Opium Commissioners have been instructed as follows:-

*(1) To devise means to limit the use of Opium in the Possessions of this country.
