[Untitled]

To his Excellency C. E. De Long, Minister of the United States, &c., &c., &c.:

We intended to have an interview with you to-day, but learning that you are engaged and unable to appoint another day for the purpose, we now submit the subject in writing.

We trust that the matter of the native Christians, whom the government caused to be removed, has been fully comprehended by you, as Sanjo Udarjin and ourselves made a full statement in this respect the other day; still, as we think that our explanation may not have been sufficiently clear, we transmit herewith a memorandum on the subject, which we beg to inform you is not to be notified to our people. And we therefore request you will communicate it in strict privacy to your Government.

With respect and consideration, the 27th day of the 12th month, January 28, 1870,

Sawa Jusaunei Kiyowara Nobu Yoski, And Teraschima Jüskii Tiyiwara Munenori.
