M. Roches to Mr. Van Valkenburgh.

(Kobé,) Hiogo, February 9, 1868.

My Dear Colleague: I have the honor to inform you that I leave to the Baron Brin, attaché of the legation of France in Japan, the duty of representing France after my departure, in the quality of chargé d’affaires ad interim.

I communicate to you at the same time the conditions under which this mandate is confided to the Baron Brin.

I am happy, in parting, to hope that the Baron Brin will find with you the help and cordial sympathy which I ask from you for him, and which has rendered to me personally so precious the relations I have had the pleasure to maintain with you.

Receive, sir, and dear colleague, the assurances of my high consideration.

LEON ROCHES.

General Van Valkenburgh, Minister of the United States of America in Japan.
