Henry White spoke with Prime Minister Arthur James Balfour and Balfour expects his new cabinet to be excellent. White encloses Balfour’s famous Economic Notes on Insular Free Trade. The Alaska Tribunal is going well and a satisfactory decision appears to be on the way. Even Senator Lodge, who was previously doubtful of a decision, is hopeful. White and Ambassador Joseph Hodges Choate have provided letters of introduction to General Ian Hamilton, Baron Ribblesdale, and John Poynder. Original and typewritten copy.
