Letter
SHIBATA HUGA NO KAMI, Governor of Hiogo to Paul Frank, February 1, 1868
[Translation.]
Hiogo, February 1, 1868.
Sir: I beg to inform you that in the present disturbed state of Osaka, and the troops of Satsuma still pressing on, it is impossible to say whether they will come on to this or not. The government will, of course, use their best endeavors to protect your flag and countrymen, but in the present unsettled and unsatisfactory state of affairs it is desirable that your countrymen withdraw to their ships.
With respect and esteem,
SHIBATA HUGA NO KAMI, Governor of Hiogo.
Paul Frank, Esq., United States Consular Agent.
