I postponed iurtiier discussion for the day, having read over to
him the remaining clauses of the draft treaty, savinr that he
now knew all we required of him, and that I hoped he would
give the question of the admission of British subjects further
consideration, as it was difficult to suppose that His
Majesty ! s Government would readily recognise a true friend in
