Here's a snatch of the letter from the president of the
United States that Perry delivered to the Japanese
emperor:
Many of the large ships-of-war destined to visit Japan
have not yet arrived in these seas, and the
undersigned, as an evidence of his friendly intentions,
has brought but four of the smaller ones, designing,
should it become necessary, to return to Edo in the
ensuing spring with a much larger force.
