I have the honor to inform your excellency that I received this day a letter from the American consul at Kanagawa, containing serious complaints of interference in the purchase of silk-worm eggs and cocoons by American merchants at that place, in daily violation of article 3 of the treaty, and to request you to desire the governor of Kanagawa, with such officers who are well acquainted with the matter, to visit me at the earliest moment, for the purpose of examining those complaints in view of their prompt removal.
With respect and esteem,
A. L. C. PORTMAN, Chargé d’ Affaires ad interim of the United States in Japan.
His Excellency Midluno Idlumi No Kami, Minister for Foreign Affairs, &c., &c, &c, Yedo.
