De Long to Oye Takee, November 11, 1872

[Inclosure 10.]

Mr. De Long to Oye Takee.

Sir: I have the honor to bring to your notice a communication this day received by me from Captain Benjamin Trask, master of the Peruvian bark Maria Luz, recommending the payment and discharge of the crew of the said ship. His recommendations meet with my approval. If they do with your own, I will furnish Captain Trask with the money to pay the crew, less their passage-money, ($15 each,) which he will pay to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for their passage to Hong-Kong on the steamer China, to sail the 13th instant.

Please reply at once.

I remain, &c.,

C. E. DE LONG.
