Harry S. Parkes to C. E. De Long

Her Britannic Majesty’s Legation, Yokohama, March 6, 1871.

Sir and Dear Colleague: With reference to the consultations of the foreign representatives, held among themselves and with the Japanese ministers, relative to the regulations claimed by the latter for the prevention of the improper use of fire-arms by foreigners when in pursuit of game, I have the honor to forward a copy of a draught of two regulations which I have prepared for the above purpose, and which I am empowered to establish in the case of British subjects, and beg you will be so good as to inform me whether you concur in the adoption of regulations of this nature, and also as to the course which you propose to take in order to meet this demand of the Japanese government in the case of the United States.

I have the honor, &c.,

H. S. PARKES.
