Colonial Secretary to Consul Robertson.
Colonial Secretary's Office,
25th March, 1869.
I have the honor to acknowledge
your despatch of the 22nd March, 1869, and to express to you, by direction of His Excellency Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, the satisfaction with which His Excellency has received this acknowledgment that
Acts
may be unfriendly and consequently reprehensible, notwithstanding that they
contravene
no actual Law.
To B. Robertson, Esqr.
For Britannic Majesty's Consul,
Canton.
