Legation of the United States in Japan, Kanagawa, January 21, 1865.

Sir: If the gunboat has not sailed, I hope immediate clearance will be granted, as no unsettled difficulties exist between Japan and any treaty power.

I have honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

ROBERT H. PRUYN.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
