Enclosure 8th August,
1899.
Sir,
In continuation of my despatch No. 221 of the
15th instant, I have the honour to transmit for your information
the enclosed copy of a letter from the Postal Authorities at
Peking, from which it would appear that further action in the mat-
ter of a Postal Agreement between China and Hongkong is unneces-
sary.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
GOVERNOR.
