Mr. Bingham to Mr. Terashima.

United States Legation, Tokei, September 10, 1875.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge your excellency’s dispatch of yesterday, and through your excellency beg leave, on behalf of General Upton, General Forsyth, and Major Sanger, to present their thanks to His Majesty the Emperor for his proffer made through your excellency to give them audience as I had the honor to request, and also to communicate their regret that they could not delay their journey to enable them to meet and pay their respects to His Majesty in person, as they greatly desired.

I am also pleased to communicate to your excellency that these gentlemen desire to make their grateful acknowledgments to His Majesty’s minister of war for the courtesy shown them during their short stay, and the facilities afforded them for examining the drill, tactics, &c., of His Majesty’s army.

I am, &c., sir, your obedient servant,

JNO. A. BINGHAM.

His Excellency Terashima Munenori, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
