Soyeshmia Tane-omi to De Long, September 20, 1872

[Inclosure 1.—Translation.]

Soyeshmia Tane-omi to Mr. De Long.

I have the honor to inform your excellency that according to my intimation to you I have made inquiries from the Kanagawa kencho, and learn that the Peruvian hark Maria Luz is under no restraint or arrest from the kencho in any manner.

If you, in the capacity of extending your good offices on behalf of Peru to that ship and her crew, see fit to do so, there would seem no objection to your taking such charge of the vessel as you may think advisable, and you have the assent of this department to do so.

With respect, &c.,

SOYESHMIA TANE-OMI.
