Letter
Russell Young to Charles Seymour, August 27, 1883
[Inclosure 4 in No. 244.]
Mr. Young to Mr. Seymour.
Peking, August 27, 1883.
Sir: I am in receipt of your dispatch No. 29, in reference to the disturbances in Canton. The measures taken by you to preserve order were prompt and salutary. It is a pleasure to know that the viceroy was so willing to answer your demands, and also to learn that no Americans were concerned in what seems to have been a wanton and foolish outrage upon Chinese society.
I am, &c.,
JNO. RUSSELL YOUNG.
