No. 1.
Legation of the United States in Japan, Kanagawa, November 22, 1864.
The atrocious murder of two British officers has created so much feeling in this community, extending to officers and men of both the British land forces and fleet now at this place, as to induce his excellency the minister of France and myself to commission the Abbé Mermet to explain to your excellencies the critical situation of affairs, and the measures which, in our judgment, your excellencies should immediately adopt for the preservation of good faith, and in the interests of peace.
With respect and esteem,
ROBERT H. PRUYN, Minister Resident of the United States in Japan.
Their Excellencies the Ministers op Foreign Affairs, &c., Yedo.
