Mr. Takahira to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.]

I am informed that Prince Fushimi left Washington yesterday deeply impressed with the manner in which he was welcomed and received by the President and the officials of the United States Government. In expressing my sincere gratitude for the hospitality and courtesy extended to the Prince I beg to assure you, Mr. Secretary, that such a warm reception as was given to our imperial visitor will be always remembered by the whole Japanese nation.

K. Takahira.
