Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 31st ultimo and in reply beg to state that the Head Board of the Bank in Hong Kong to whom your letter of 31st December 1897 was forwarded for consideration came to the conclusion to leave the matter alone as with our notes so well out at that time it did not seem to be worth while locking up over £15,000.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Manager.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,
S.W.
