To: President Lincoln of the United States of America
Re: Treaty of Peace and Amity
The people of Japan will not stand for your continued lies and hypocrisy. Your president, Lincoln, is against the suppression of peoples in the form of slavery, and yet you seek to enslave the people of Japan to American interests with treaties that subvert the sovereignty of the Japanese nation. If you truly recognize the Emperor of Japan as an equal and worthy partner, then demonstrate that with your actions and make the public declaration which has been requested by the Japanese government. OR, I offer you another choice. You can extend the rights that are granted to the United States within Japan to apply for Japan within the United States as well. Namely: Grant all Japanese citizens extraterritorial rights within all lands of the United States, and allow Japanese traders to trade in all ports of the United States of the America. Make this addition to the treaty, or admit that you seek the suppress the rights of Japanese citizens to be ruled by a Japanese Emperor.

Re: Re: Japanese Declaration
The Emperor Komei of Japan welcomes our friends of China to seek an equal exchange of court officials in an attempt to improve our relations and bring our nations closer together. The Emperor would also like to express his interest in promoting trade between the nations of China and Japan. In that regard, the Emperor would request that Japan be excluded from the recent closed borders declaration to all nations.

Re: Russian Declaration
The Emperor Komei of Japan welcomes Russia's intent to seek mutual beneficial and equal partnership going forward in future relations. In this regard, we would offer to seek mutually beneficial trade agreements as well as to seek an exchange of goods, ideas, and materials to help both of our nations during the times of reform we are both in. We are welcome to immediate discussion of specifics for future plans of mutual prosperity between our nations.
