sir,
In reply to your Despatch No. 111 of the
4th. ultimo, I have the honour to inform you that under the
detailed Regulations of the Convention of Washington, the
equivalent fixed for the local currency of Hongkong was 10
25. cents (Mexican) for every centimes.
2.
In view, however, of the fluctuation in
exchange and of the fact that payments would have to be made
at the rates of the day, the Acting Postmaster-General recom-
mends that the equivalent be fixed at 25 cents (Mexican) for
50 centimes.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
800 ..
&c..
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Hurry Attlake
Governor, &c..
