60. Following from American consul at Foochow:
“January 20, 5 p.m.
- 1.
- Reports from sources so authenticated and friendly as to be credible indicate the probability further attacks upon foreign mission property within a few days. When the Pillsbury left here yesterday afternoon she expected that another vessel would be sent to Foochow shortly. Can you confirm the arrangement as I have not had any further information or any word from the Pillsbury?
- 2.
- The evacuation Americans is progressing.”
Commander in chief has informed me that Parrott is proceeding Foochow to replace Pillsbury.
