J. D. Lowman, Esq.,
President, Associated Chambers of Commerce,

Chamber of Commerce,
Seattle, Wash., U.S.A.
Dear Sir,
In reference to your note dated Washington, D.C. the third November, 1909 with which you have in the name of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific Coast Presented to me a specially prepared insignia of membership of the Commercial Commission for transmission to His Imperial Majesty, My August Sovereign, I have the honor to inform you that on arriving in Japan I have taken necessary steps for its presentation to the Emperor.
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that His Imperial Majesty has been graciously pleased to accept the said insignia and expressed through the Minister of the Imperial Household the Imperial appreciation of kindly sentiment and unchangeable friendship of your Associated Chambers of Commerce which prompted the presentation of such a valuable souvenir which was so thoughtfully arranged on the Imperial birthday. Hoping that you will kindly make the above known to your associates, I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, My dear Mr. Lowman, the assurance of my highest consideration.
(Signed)
Baron E. Shibusawa.
