Transcription

April 21,1909.

Dear Bishop McKim:

Very many thanks for your kind letter of March 16th, congratulating me on my recent appointments, and particularly upon this last and best one.

I am very glad you all liked the O'Briens so much. I think him one of the finest men in our diplomatic service and I am greatly rejoiced that he is to remain longer at Tokyo. As to your kind allusion to us as their possible successors in a dim future, I can only say that there is no one from whom I should more appreciate the high compliment of wishing us to go back some time to Tokyo.

With the warmest regards to Mrs. McKim and yourself, in which Lucy joins, I remain, always,

Very sincerely yours,

[signature]

The Right Reverend John McKim,
Bishop of Tokyo.
