Regarding the British Commander requesting the restitution of a Deserter from the American Commander on San Juan Island, Lennox forwards a letter from Hastings and other enclosures related to the subject, emphasizing that amicable feeling[s] were maintained and no blame has been placed on Bazalgette. Minutes by Cox, Elliot, and Buckingham discuss how to respond to Hastings’s letter, which emphasizes that Bazalgette only requested restitution of the deserter, and did not make a formal demand.

24 June 1867 Sir,

With reference to previous correspondence relating to the claims made by the Officer Commanding the Royal Marines at San Juan upon the Officer Commanding the United States Detachment on that Island for the restitution of a Deserter, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to send you herewith for the information of Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, a letter from Rear Admiral Hastings dated the 12th Ultimo No 49, with its enclosures on this subject,from from which it appears that an amicable feeling has been maintained throughout the correspondence respecting this Deserter, and that the Rear Admiral considers no blame attaches to Captain Bazalgette for having requested his restitution.

I am Sir, Your obedient servant, Henry G. Lennox
Mr Elliot We have already recdreceived General Halleck's despatch of the 21 Jany last which brought this little tho' it might have been unpleasant affair to an amicable termination. See Govrs despatch 3752. I think it only remains to send the GovrGovernor & the F.O. for information a copy of this letter & such of the enclosures as they have not already had. CC 27 June CBA 28/6
The Admiral points out that Captn Bazalgette only requested restitution of the deserter, and did not make a formal demand for him as appears to be assumed in the censure pronounced upon him by HM's GovtGovernment. This censure was contained in the letter from this Office to the Admiralty dated the 22nd of March which is annexed.

Probably it will be enough to send copies of the present papers, as proposed by Mr Cox, to the Governor and to the Foreign Office.

TFE 27 June CBA 28/6
Capt. Bazalgettes words are, "I now request you will cause this deserter to be turned over to me."

The contention that this is not a demand is not worth discussing, and the matter being settled now it seems unnecessary to send on copies. I shdshould think we may put by.
