I transmit to you for your information and guidance a Copy of a letter from the Foreign Office in reply to a reference made to that Department on the subject and have to observe that it does not seem advisable to Her Majesty's Government for the reasons therein mentioned that the Government of BritishColumbiaManuscript image Columbia should exercise any jurisdiction in San Juan.
