We are not sure whether the draft telegram
dealing with China enclosed in my letter under
reference has already been sent. If it has not
been sent we should like the second sentence in
the first paragraph to be omitted, that is to say,
from It is not anticipated" down to "civil
authority".

enclosure to Paskin at the Colonial Office and
