Prince Kung to James Burrill Angell, June 12, 1881
[Inclosure 2 in No. 173.]
Prince Kung to Mr. Angell.
Peking, June 12, 1881.
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency’s communication of the 3d instant, as follows (here follows the text of Mr. Angell’s No. 35 to Prince Kung).
In reply I beg to state that I have forwarded communications to the generals, lieutenant-generals, governors-general, and governors of the various provinces, and to the governors of the prefecture of Shuntien and of Moukden, requesting them to instruct their subordinate officers so that all may know that the decree issued by this office in the first year of Tung Chih (1862), is to apply alike to Roman Catholic and Protestant converts. I also forward a copy of the communication above referred to for your excellency’s information.
