Anson Burlingame to William H. Seward, June 26, 1863
Mr. Burlingame to Mr. Seward
No. 46.]
Legation of the United States, Peking, June 26, 1863.
Sir: I am most happy to inform you that the imperial government, in response to my request for an extension of time in which to re-export native produce, from three to twelve months, has most handsomely met my wishes.
This change will do much for the trade of all nations, and puts us under many obligations to the Chinese. You will find the correspondence attached, marked A, B, and C.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
ANSON BURLINGAME.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
