W. Douglas Irvine to Russell, 20 August 1860, reporting his
conversation with William Henry Trescot, Acting Secretary of the U.S. State Department,
on the question of civil jurisdiction on San Juan, and forwarding
copies of the correspondence subsequently exchanged.
Trescot to Irvine, 18 August 1860, suggesting that the end in
question had already been effected by previous official
correspondence, and expressing the hope that "H.B.M. Govt will
before long remove the necessity of any temporary arrangement, by the
final and permanent settlement" of the sovereignty question.
