[Inclosure No. 4 in No. 737.]
Mr. Terashima Munenori to Mr. Bingham.
Foreign Office, Tokio,
The 18th, the 12th month, the 10th year Meiji (December 18, 1877).
The 18th, the 12th month, the 10th year Meiji (December 18, 1877).
Sir: I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt of your excellency’s dispatch, under date of November 26, 1877, informing me that the adoption of suitable harbor regulations for the port of Yokohama is alike needful for the interests of my government and to the safety of foreign vessels coming into that port.
I beg to say, in reply, that the adoption of harbor regulations in that port is a matter that has been deemed quite essential.
I inclose herewith a copy of a draught of regulations which was made out by the kewrei (governor) of Kanagawa in the 10th month of the 5th year of Meiji (October, 1872), and concerning which he then consulted with the foreign consuls.
I avail myself, &c.,
TERESHIMA MUNENORI.
