The formalities necessary to bring the treaty of Portsmouth into full force and vigor having been accomplished and peace having been definitely reestablished between Japan and Russia, I desire again to express to you my very high appreciation of your distinguished and important services in the cause of peace, and also to thank you most sincerely for the gracious hospitality to my plenipotentiaries, by which they were enabled to perform their important labors under the most favorable auspices.
Mutsuhito.
