Cards of WANSIANG, TUNG, and PANKIENE to Anson Burlingame, August 23, 1862

Wansiang, Tung, and Pankiene to Mr. Burlingame

Your note, with the accompanying copy of the History of the United States, has been received. I shall most carefully look the work over, and, therefore, be able to obtain a thorough knowledge of the customs, the geography, and the character of the people of that country. I shall keep the volume at my side, and be gradually extending my information as I look at it.

I return this note of thanks for it, at the same time availing myself of the opportunity to wish you happiness.
