Harris/Hotta 1857
[edit]I stumbled across this interesting link, but it's not quite developed enough for inclusion in the article -- not yet.
- Selected comments from Harris's recolletion of his side of a conversation with Bakufu Grand Councillor Hotta Masayoshi on December 12, 1857
The web page identifies a reference source: "Foreign Relations of the U.S., Series 1902, 1879." The "Foreign Relations Series" comprises collections of official papers relating to United States foreign relations, including diplomatic correspondence both to and from foreign governments and their representatives and to and from U.S. representatives abroad. The series is more fully described here. In my view, this potentially illuminating excerpt needs to be placed in a better context. My guess would be that a little more needs to be done by checking this index:
- Hasse, Adelaide R. Index to United States documents relating to foreign affairs, 1828-1861. Washington, DC: Carnegie Inst., 1914-21. 3v.
I suppose this further research could be incorporated into a number of other related articles, e.g., Townsend Harris, Foreign Relations of Japan, Ii Naosuke, etc.? --Ooperhoofd (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
