Letter
John Russell Young to Charles Seymour, March 20, 1884
[Inclosure 3 in No. 387.]
Mr. Young to Mr. Seymour.
March 20, 1884.
No. 76.]
Sir: As a further reference to your dispatch No. 63, I have the honor to send you a copy of a note received in August last from his imperial highness Prince Kung. In this you will note that orders had been sent by the cabinet to Canton giving directions for the settlement of the Ngchow affair.
I note from your report that it has not been adjusted. I have to request you, therefore, to present the viceroy with a copy of this dispatch and ask him the exact condition of the negotiation. You may also express your regret that orders issued in August by the cabinet have not been carried out in a manner which you, the representative of American interests in Canton, have the right to expect and demand.
I am, &c.,
JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG.
