Chester Holcombe to Prince Kung, June 15, 1878
[Inclosure 2 in No. 20.]
Mr. Holcombe to Prince Kung.
Peking, June 15, 1878.
I have had the honor to receive your imperial highness’s dispatch of the 25th ultimo, addressed to Mr. Seward, and informing him of certain proposed modifications to the regulations for trade npon the Yangtze River.
In response I beg leave to express my approval of the changes suggested, as they seem to be well calculated to promote the interests of commerce.
I shall at once notify the consul-general at Shanghai in order that he may issue the necessary notice to Americans concerned.
I have, &c.,
CHESTER HOLCOMBE.
