Scope and content
Reports that he has translated Sidgwick's 'opinion on the Japanese Constitution', and presented it to Count Yamagata, the Prime Minister, and Count Ito, who were 'delighted to read so full a report on the Constitution from [the] English Jurists.' They asked him [Kameko] to write to Sidgwick to thank him. Relates that he has been appointed a Life Member and Chief Secretary of the House of Peers by the Emperor. The opening of their first parliament is to take place on 29 November 1890. Refers to a photograph album of 'Japanese scenery', which he sends to Sidgwick through the Japanese legation in London.
