Letter
Shinagawa to William H. Seward, August 19, 1874
[Inclosure 10 in No. 811.]
Mr. Shinagawa to Mr. Seward.
His Imperial Japanese Majesty’s Consulate-General, Shanghai, August 19, 1874.
Sir: Your dispatch of to-day has been received. From it I understand that you are unwilling to furnish me, for the information of His Imperial Japanese Majesty’s government, with a copy of the order on which General Le Gendre was released, but that you will transmit the same to Washington.
Before I inform our minister at Peking of your decision, I have to request whether you will have any objection to let me have a copy for his use.
I am, &c.,
E. SHINAGAWA.
