Tseang-yew-tëen (Governor of Chǐh-le province), Pëen tsow, i. e. shortly addresses his Imperial Majesty on the subject of the tribute bearer from the Mëen-tëen nation, now on his way from Peking back to his native country. I deputed civil and military officers to escort him safely and diligently. Now the magistrate of Tsze-chow district reports that the said envoy proceeds very well and peaceably on his journey; and that on the 13th of the 3d moon (11th April) he had been escorted as far as Gan-yang-hëen in Ho-nan province, where he had been transferred to the care of the local officers, to continue his progress. It is right that I present this short address on the subject.
