Hegashi Kuse Saki No Shosho Dono to General Van Valkenburgh , American, February 11, 1868

[Translation of a letter received February 11, 1868.]

I have the honor to communicate the following:

I washita Sajiemow, Ito Shinosoke, Nakajima Sakootara, and Tevajima Toza have been appointed to be superintendents in the custom-house of Kobé in Hiogo.

Therefore I beg you will confer with them on all matters concerned until the governor of Hiogo shall be appointed. One or more of these four officers will be on duty in Kobé every day except Sunday.
