JAPAN CONSULAR CORRESPONDENCE IN THE SATOW PAPERS, 1895–1900 OUTLINE BY IAN RUXTON Among the vast collection of documents, including memoranda, letters and his personal diaries which Sir Ernest Satow (1843–1929) left to posterity in the Satow Papers (PRO 30/33 1–23) deposited at the Public Record Office in accordance with his wishes after his death, the series relating to his time as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Japan (1895–1900) is of particular interest to Japan scholars and historians of the period.These papers have not been studied in detail until now. I am now engaged in tran- scribing the many handwritten letters and annotating them for publication. They will become companion volumes to Satow’s diaries for the period, which I have already transcribed and annotated, and which were first pub- lished by Edition Synapse of Tokyo in 2003. Two volumes have already been published through lulu.com as follows: The Correspondence of Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister in Japan, 1895–1900, Volume One (2005);Volume Two (2011). Here I should like to introduce part of the material (PRO 30/33 5) and indicate some of the highlights.

PRO 30/33 5/1 – This is the shortest of the files by some considerable margin, since it only contains two letters from Foreign Secretary Lord Kim- berley to Satow.The first one, dated 1 June 1895 confirms his appointment by as Envoy Extraordinary, Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul-General in Japan on a salary of £4,000 per annum, with an outfit allowance of £1,400.The second dated 25 June 1895 refers to a letter (not on file) from QueenVictoria to Emperor accrediting Satow as Envoy and Minister which Satow was to deliver in the usual way. The letter was acknowledged by the Emperor when Satow had an audience with him on 9 August, which is related in Satow’s diary.

PRO 30/33 5/2 – This file contains the official correspondence from the Foreign Office in to Satow. The first one dated 25 January 1895 is to Satow’s predecessor, Hon. P.H. Le Poer Trench from the Assistant Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Sir Francis Hyde Villiers (1852–1925). It concerns Trench’s recommendation
