Chinese Corporation are concerned it seems to me that he is right. But the Hongkong Government are also affected for reasons given in paragraph 3 of your telegram No.60 and I thought it advisable therefore to communicate our telegram and my reply, No.77, to Sir John Jordan, who was nearing Hongkong and would be in a position to consider the whole question on the spot.

Sir,
your most obedient, humble servant,
(in the absence of T.Y., Minister)
