Letter

William H. Seward to Prince Kung, February 22, 1878

[Inclosure 2 in No. 411.]

Mr. Seward to Prince Kung.

I have had the honor to receive your imperial highness’s letter, of January 31, transmitting to me a code of proposed “Rules for the conservation of the harbor at Shanghai.” These rules have my perfect approval, and I will instruct the consul-general to afford the harbor-master cordial support in giving effect to them.

I have, &c.,

GEORGE F. SEWARD.
