The Semi-Official Letters of British Envoy Sir Ernest Satow from Siam, Uruguay and Morocco (1884-1895)

Letters written by Sir Ernest Satow (1843-1929) mainly to the Foreign Office in London from his first three diplomatic postings: Siam (Thailand), Uruguay and Morocco. Fully transcribed and annotated by Ian Ruxton, with a Foreword by diplomatic historian Professor T.G. Otte. Part of a series of published transcriptions (with permission) of the Satow Papers held at the National Archives of the U.K. These semi-official letters are supplementary to the official despatches, intended to explain them and add things which could not be conveniently or appropriately included therein. Satow's semi-official letters from Japan and China, 1895-1906, were previously published through lulu.com. This present volume completes publication of all of Satow's semi-official letters (PRO 30/33 14).
