verbal note - Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

  VERBAL NOTE. In diplomatic language, memorandum or note not signed, sent 
  when an affair has continued a long time without any reply, in order to 
  avoid the appearance of an urgency, which, perhaps, the affair does not 
  require; and, on the other hand, not to afford any ground for supposing that 
  it is forgotten, or that there is no intention of not prosecuting it any 
  further, is called a verbal note.
