My
dear
Gent,
For the past few weeks your department have been kind
enough to send us copies of the weekly air mail reports on
the local situation at Hong Kong: the most recent one was
enclosed in Colonial Office letter No. 53838/36/39 of the
21st July.
2. We are rather doubtful whether the labour involved
in copying these reports to us is justified by the amount of
information they contain of immediate concern to this
department.
In the circumstances I think perhaps it will
be best if you discontinue sending them unless and until you
notice any item to which you think our attention should be
drawn.
G.E.J. Gent, Esq., D.S.0., 0.B.E.
Colonial Office.
