Confidential
I am to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, and to state that Disraeli could with Official correspondence be furnished with The information.
I do not think much interference is required. The F.O. will, I think, be an authority to comply with a copy of the Letters Patent sent over, which are to be sent to the Governor.
I think it is desirable that a holder, in the event of a casualty, should have an Instrument of corresponding effect, and he forwarded a copy to the Governor of Hongkong.
