Sir,
I am directed by the Postmaster General to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 10th ultimo, No.33207/1906,
stating that the Government of Hong Kong has decided to
establish a Postal Agency at Tientsin as a temporary measure
and that the new agency will be opened on the 1st of October

In reply, I am to acquaint you, for the information of
the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that the necessary
instructions have been issued in this Office; and I am to
enclose a copy of a Notice on the subject which has been
communicated to the newspapers.
It has been assumed that all the postal services carried

will be carried on by the new Agency at Tientsin.
