Letter

Trask to De Long, November 11, 1872

[Inclosure 5.]

Mr. Trask to Mr. De Long.

Sir: I have communicated with the men, and they are very willing to do as I specify. There are ten who wish to go to Hong-Kong, and two who wish to join the Idaho, or any American man-of-war that they can join for three years.

I remain, &c.,

B. C. TRASK.
