Mr. Van Valkenburgh to Mr. Seward
No. 52.]
Legation of the United States in Japan, Yedo, October 7, 1867.
Sir: In my No. 45, under date of August 3d, 1867, I announced to you the safe arrival of Ono Tomogoro and Matsmoto Judayu. I enclose, No. 1, copy translation of a communication received by me from the Gorogio, expressing their gratitude for the manner in which their commissioners had been received by our government, and their entire satisfaction at the success of the mission.
They have probably announced their intention, on the arrival of the Stonewall, of making up their accounts and paying the remainder due on her purchase.
I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant,
R. B. VAN VALKENBURGH.
Hon. William H. Seward Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
