Sir,
In reference to my letter of yesterday's date in reply
to your No.5828, I should have added that the Company's
Subscribers in Hongkong are approaching four hundred in
number, and are steadily increasing. Mr. Secretary
Chamberlain will therefore see that the metallic circuiting
of the Company's lines by Cables will prove an expensive
and laborious undertaking.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,
LONDON.
S. W.
Secretary.
