My Lord
The Secretary of State for the Colonies, in a letter of which a copy dated April 16/60 is inclosed, has expressed his opinion that endeavour should be made to provide for the cession of the Kowloon Peninsula in a new treaty with China in accordance with His Grace's request. I have to instruct G. E. to lose no favourable opportunity which may occur for securing that cession.
