Letter
Frederick F. Low to H. C. Blake, May 23, 1871
No. 3.
Frederick F. Low to H. C. Blake
On board Flag-ship Colorado, May 23, 1871.
Sir: With this you will find a general letter which I had prepared for your guidance during your preliminary trip to the northward. Inasmuch as you will not proceed as far as the island of Kang-hoa before returning to the flag-ship, I do not send the letter for transmission to the King of Corea. I shall retain it here; and if you meet any officials desirous of learning the object of our visit to the coast, you will be guided by the tenor of the general letter accompanying this in your conversations with them. You will further inform them that I am on board the flag-ship, and have a letter which I desire to send to the government.
Respectfully, yours,
F. F. LOW.
