His Excellency R. B. Van Valkenburgh, Minister Resident of the United States of America, &c., &c., &c.:
We have to state to your excellency that while we wrote to you in the last year to mention hereafter the time for the audience to Tycoon, at the castle in Osacca, in consequence of the general mourning, it has been now informed from Kioto that the audience will positively take place in the beginning of the next month. This is for the purpose of making closer the treaty of peace and to extend the friendship between two nations.
Stated with respect and esteem,
INOMIYE KAWATSI NO KAMI.
MATSDAIRA SUMO NO KAMI.
OGASAWRA IKI NO KAMI.
The 8th day of the 3d month of the 3d year of Cay An, (April 12, 1867.)
