June 14th, 1913.
Mr, and Mrs. J. D. Lowman,
Seattle, Wash. U.S.A.
Dear Sir and Madam:
It has been customary with the late Honorary Commercial Commissioners to the United States to hold an annual reunion to refresh the memories of our delightful tour of three months through that extensive country in 1909.
This year the reunion was held for three days at Kyoto, one of the items on the program being a visit to the tomb of the late Mr. Jihei Nishimura, who joined the Commission as President of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce.
At the meeting it was resolved :
That we write to our friends whose acquaintance was made during that memorable trip, and assure them that we still cherish the memory of all the happy relations formed on that occasion, and that conforming to the spirit of that mission of peace we are making every effort to bring about a better understanding and to strengthen the ties of friendship between the peoples of the United States and Japan.
Faithfully yours,
(Signed) Baron Eiichi Shibusawa,
Ex-Chairman of Honorary
Commercial Commissioners to
the United States of America
