I am directed by His Lordship to express to the Earl of Carnarvon
The hope which he entertains
That the arrangement, concluded
by Sir T. Wade, for the reference of the Blockade question to
The Consul, a Colonial Officer,
and a Chinese Officer,
as reported in his telegram of
The 12th ultimo, (a copy of
which
was sent to you on the 27th
ultimo)
may
lead to a settlement of
the matter that will be
satisfactory to the Colony.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant
Tenterden
