I most respectfully insist that you shall, without any delay, place a suitable guard at the residence of the American consul at Kanagawa, and that this very night one shall be placed there.

And I now give you notice, that if this be neglected the Japanese government will be held responsible for any accident which may happen by reason thereof.

With respect and esteem,

ROBERT H. PRUYN, Minister Resident of the United States of America in Japan.

The Ministers of Foreign Affairs, &c., Japan.
