Japanese Ambassadors to Mr. Dayton
To his excellency the Minister of the United States of America in France:
We have to make you the following communication:
Some time since we begged you to ask of your government the date of the completion of the vessels-of-war, which have been requested of your government, and to send the answer to the place where we might be at the time, and our secretary spoke to your secretary about the matter; but as we return from here to Japan, we beg you to send directly to Japan, to our address, the answer which you may receive from your government.
Set forth with respect and consideration.
The 11th day of the 5th month in the 4th year Boen-Cun.
IKEDA TSIKOEGO-NO-KAMI.
