FOREIGN OFFICE,

September 18th, 1905.

Gentlemen:-

On the receipt of your letter of the 13th instant, a telegram was addressed to His Majesty's Minister at Peking informing him that renewed representations had been received from the British and American Tobacco Company, Limited, calling attention to the reported boycotting of the Company's goods at Canton, and suggesting that it might be a matter for unofficial action on the part of Sir E. Satow.

I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to inform you that it appears from Sir E. Satow's reply which has just been received that he is not in possession of sufficiently detailed information to enable him to take any steps in the matter, but Sir E. Satow suggests however that the best plan would be that the Company's Representative at Hongkong should supply full information on the subject to His Majesty.

to the British and American Tobacco Company,
