Sir,
I am directed by the Marquis of Salisbury to transmit
to you the inclosed correspondence relative to the duties
levied in Japan on British owned goods from Formosa which
have been transhipped at Hongkong, and I am to suggest for
Mr Secretary Chamberlain's consideration that a report
should be obtained from the Governor of Hongkong showing
how any reduction of these duties would be viewed in the
Colony.
I am,
Sir,
your most obedient,
The Under Secretary of State.
Colonial Office.
humble Servant
Tilenderson
