Print with Admiral Matthew Perry flanked by officers


I am interested to know at least the beginning few lines of Hiragana in the
attached print. It depicts Admiral Matthew Perry. The print is titled
_Gasshukoku suishi teitoku kōjōgaki_ (Oral statement by the American Navy
admiral). It has been speculated that the text refers to the letter sent by US
President Fillmore to "the Japanese Emperor" via Perry.
