Letter
William H. Seward to R. M. Johnson, June 19, 1876
No. 40. Mr. Seward to Mr. Fish.
United States Legation, Peking, June 19, 1876. (Received August 7.)
No. 84.]
Sir: I have the honor to hand to you herewith a copy of a letter from one of our missionaries, Dr. Bunn, which has been sent to me by the consul at Hankow, reporting the circumstances of a recent disturbance in a missionary hospital at Wuchang, the capital of the Hukwang provinces, and also a copy of an instruction which I am addressing to the consul.
I think it incumbent upon us to show appreciation of the good-will and favorable action of the native officials in such cases. The conduct of the missionaries was very discreet.
I have, &c.,
GEORGE F. SEWARD.
