great degree the feeling of friendship
held by the Japanese people for the
people Of the United States. Mrs.

Takahira said: "The people Of Japan
are.greatly gratified with the visit of
the American feet, for which they
had been looking forward with the

the sincerity of feeling entertained
toward America and Americans. In
respect to the details of the visit the
American people are already fully in
-

the weather helped us to do all that
we wanted"

sincerely for your very kind message

livered to me upon the departure or

was highly gratified to learn that the
reception accorded to the feet was so
satisfactory and agreeable to you and
to the people of the United States.
desire to express my appreciation of
your kindness in accepting the invita-
ton of my government for the fleet to
visit Japan, since by that visit was
afforded an opportunity to testify
anew to you the assurance of my high
regard and perfect esteem, and my
subjects were enabled to give fresh
proof Of their sincere attachment for
your countrymen, and / am very hap
py to believe that the memorable
event will surely tend to cement the
bonds of friendship and good neigh
borhood between our two countries"
