[Inclosure 1 in No. 221.]
United States Legation, Peking, March 10, 1877.
Sir: I am instructed by the Secretary of State to inform you that a gold watch has been sent by the President to the United States consul-general at Shanghai, to be delivered to Captain Stewart, of the Chinese gunboat Sin Ching, as a testimonial of his appreciation of services rendered by Captain Stewart to the American ship Enoch Train when in distress near Hong-Kong. He has also directed me to ask Your Imperial Highness to convey to the same gentleman, through the appropriate channel, the thanks of the United States for the important services rendered by him on the occasion adverted to.
I have, &c.,
GEORGE F. SEWARD.
To His Imperial Highness Prince Kung, &c.
