Letter
George F. Seward to His Imperial Highness, the Prince of Kung, January 19, 1880
[Inclosure 1 in No. 564.]
Mr. Seward to Prince Kung.
Peking, January 19, 1880.
Sir: I do myself the honor to acknowledge your imperial highness’s note of the 12th instant, including copy of regulations for the anchorage of native shipping at Shanghai, and acquainting me with a modification of the rules of 1878 regarding the foreign anchorage.
I have considered the matter of the note with my colleagues—the representatives of the treaty powers now in Peking—and I understand it to be agreed that each of us should instruct the consul of his government at Shanghai to co-operate cordially with the Chinese authorities in giving effect to the rules in question.
I avail, &c.,
GEORGE F. SEWARD.
His Imperial Highness, the Prince of Kung.
