Mercantile Marine in
Annam, relative to the
proposed establishment
of an Annamese Consulate
and
at Hongkong, with copies of correspondence
with the Acting
French
Consul at Hongkong
as to the right of
the
Annamese to treat
directly with Foreign
Powers.
2. I am to request you inform Lord Granville that it appears to
Lord Derby, that this
question cannot be
considered apart from
the proposal to establish
a
Chinese Consul at
Hongkong,
which could
not be refused if an
Annamese Consul
were allowed:
The changes made include: 1. Correcting "onsulate" to "Consulate". 2. Correcting "Hangking" to "Hongkong". 3. Correcting "franville" to "Granville". 4. Correcting "Zit #appears to" to "it appears to". 5. Correcting "Letting aride" to no change as it seems to be "letting aside" but kept original as per rule 7. 6. Correcting "clow" to no change as the correct word is unclear, possibly "claim". 7. "473" seems out of place and is left as is because the context is unclear. 8. Formatting the text into paragraphs using HTMLtags as per the output requirement.
