Yokohama,

and that this branch line of Packets is maintained,

as a means of keeping up certain and regular communication with the Legation, the Troops and the Ships of War at Yokohama, yet, a revenue of the Yokohama Post Office during the last year was over 35 per cent less than the revenue of 1869, I consider it my duty to bring this large decline in the Revenue of this Agency of the Hongkong Post Office under notice.

The falling off in the Revenue and business of the Yokohama Cost Offices is to be attributed to the opening out of the Pacific Railway from San Francisco to New York, which has diverted most of the correspondence from Japan for the United States of America from its former course of transmission by the English Hongkong Mail Packets via the less expensive and more direct route afforded by the United States Mail Packets flying between San Francisco to Yokohama and ...

Much of the correspondence for the United Kingdom.
