De Varigny to J. W. Whittall, His Hawaiian Majesty ’s, April 10, 1867
Mr. de Varigny to Mr. Whittall.
Foreign Office, Honolulu, April 10, 1867.
Sir: Your course of action is most fully and entirely approved of, and I am happy to tender to you the thanks of his Majesty and cabinet for your prompt and energetic interference in behalf of our flag.
I write by this mail to our chargé d’affaires in Lima in relation to this subject, and inform him of the dangers that might accrue to our good name from an indiscriminate use of our flag. Instructions to this effect had already been transmitted to him, &c.
I renew to you, &c., &c.
C. DE VARIGNY.
J. W. Whittall, His Hawaiian Majesty’s Consul General for Hong Kong and Macao.
