Sir: The troubles existing in Japan at this time would render it unsafe for the citizens of the United States at present to locate in or visit the City of Yedo or the port of Neegata. In consequence thereof, you will decline to give passports under the arrangements made for the opening of Yedo until you receive further information from me.
