[Inclosure. 1.—Translation.]

Peruvian minister to Mr. De Long.

Yokohama, February 28, 1873.

Sir: I have the honor to inform your excellency that I arrived in this city late yesterday by way of San Francisco, California, accredited by the government of Peru as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.

My government has intrusted me in a special manner to express to your excellency the very particular pleasure which they have experienced on knowing the solicitous care with which your excellency has attended to the Peruvian interests which were intrusted to your excellency since 1870, and more especially your excellency’s action in the incident of the Peruvian bark Maria Luz. The minister for foreign affairs has separately written to your excellency a communication on this subject.

Within a few moments I shall give myself the pleasure of calling at your excellency’s residence in order to express personally to your excellency the above sentiments, which are also those felt by him who now has the honor to subscribe himself as your excellency’s most obedient servant,

AURELIO G. Y GARCIA.
