be granted to Br. & W. Waldron appointed United States Consul
at Hong Kong-
Ford Stanley

to request that you will move his Lordship
to intimate to the American Minister that it will be impossible to avoid the inconvenience
of postponing Grant of the Royal Exequatur in favor of Mr. Waldron until
Ford Stanley shall be in possession of Mr. H. Bottingers opinion whether
there would be
any objection to
such a measure-
