Letter

James Burrill Angell to Prince Kung, April 30, 1881

[Inclosure 5 in No. 152.]

Mr. Angell to Prince Kung.

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a communication (semi-official) from the foreign office, describing the action which has been taken in suppressing the disorder at the American mission in the Yen erh Hu Tong.

I desire to express my grateful appreciation of the prompt and vigorous action of the higher authorities in arresting and punishing five persons, in posting a proclamation, and in guarding the premises.

I am, &c.,

JAMES B. ANGELL.
