FISHES, United States Cansul to A. L. C. Portman, September 11, 1865

No. 7.

Mr. Fisher to Mr. Portman

Sir: Your communications Nos. 90 and 92, of the 7th and 9th instant, have been received, and will have my attention with the governor of Kanagawa, &c., as suggested, and I concur in opinion that this is the better plan than to refer these claims to Yedo in the first instance.

I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

GEORGE S. FISHES, United States Cansul.

A. L. C. Portman, Esq., Charge d’Affaires ad interim, Yedo.
