[Untitled]
We received your letters, Nos. 71 and 73, dated the 6th of June, and understood that a short sword, which was stolen when our embassy was in the United States, from one of their attendants, having been recovered, is thereby returned, and we now tender our thanks for the trouble taken in regard to this friendly arrangement.
It was also stated that his Majesty the President had learned with pleasure that two more of the criminals engaged in the attack on the British legation had been punished, which we immediately reported to his Majesty the Tycoon.
Stated in reply to these two letters, with respect and esteem. The 7th day of the 6th month of the 2d year of Bunkin, (the 3d July, 1862.)
