Mr. De Long to Mr. Trask.

United States Legation, Japan,
November 12, 1872.

No. 148.]

Sir: Inclosed I send you a draft on Walsh, Hall & Co. for the sum of six hundred and thirty-eight dollars, (Mexican, $638.) Get this cashed at once, and then take all of the crew of the Maria Luz desiring to be discharged to the kencho at 2 p.m. to-day; obtain their discharges, giving them chits for their money, and passage-tickets to Hong-Kong. Then proceed to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s office and purchase passage-tickets for Hong-Kong at fifteen dollars ($15) each for all who wish to go. See the crew on board the China to-night or early in the morning to-morrow, and just before the steamer sails give each man his passage-ticket and the money due him, and report your proceedings in writing to me.

I remain. &c.,

C. E. DE LONG.
