Although it has been publicly made known that the people of the provinces of our Daimios shall be allowed to trade freely at the opened ports, we have once more issued a proclamation to that effect, of which we herewith transmit a copy, which we submit for your consideration.

MATSDAIRA SUWO NO KAMI.

A. L. C. Portman, Esq. Chargé d’ Affaires ad interim of the United States of America, &c., &c., &c.
