Sir: I have to inform you that the Department has been advised by the chargé d’affaires ad interim of Brazil in this country of the intention of his majesty the Emperor, to send an embassy to China for the purpose of entering into certain treaties of amity and commerce with the government of that country, and of his desire that the representative of the United States in China may be instructed to extend to the Brazilian embassy to that country the friendly welcome and the moral support which is naturally to be expected from the intimate relations so happily existing between the United States and Brazil. You are consequently requested to comply with the wish of the Emperor as herein expressed.

I am, &c.,

WM. M. EVARTS.
