Gentlemen:-
I am directed by Secretary Sir
E. Grey to inform you that he has had
under his consideration your letter of
y
the 22 nd ultimo in which you suggest that
the ammunition prepared by you for Messrs
Dieu should be taken into account in es
timating the value of the stock of arms
and ammunition to be purchased from
Messrs. Dieu by His Majesty^ Government
I am to inform you that you are
mistaken in supposing that the rifles
held by one of the Birmingham firms have
been included in the claim put forward
by Messrs. Dieu. Only the stocks held
by Messrs. Dieu at Muscat and Jibuti are
to be acquired, and His Majesty*s Govern
ment would be unable to recognise any
further claim which Messrs. Dieu might
present
