[In a despatch of April 9, 1880, the U.S. consul at Apia, Samoa, stated that the agreement "has been signed by the King, Vice King, and Premier, and approved by the Taimua & Faipule, but I have not had an opportunity to get the copy I send signed by all." A despatch of April 15 enclosed printed copies of the agreement, in English and Samoan; the Samoan copy contained the following printed signatures of the Samoan officials: O au o Malietoa Talavou, Malietoa Laupepe, and O au o Mataafa.]
