Sir J. Jordan to Governor Sir F. Lugard.
Sir,
Peking, June 16, 1908. WITH reference to your Excellency's despatch of the 30th May, on the subject of an Ordinance to prohibit the exportation of prepared opium to China, I have the honour to state that the words "Imperial Rescript" in my despatch of the 27th March and its inclosure should have been "Imperial Decree." A copy of the Chinese text of the Wai-wu Pu's note of the 24th March is inclosed herewith for your information.* I have no hesitation in assuring you that, in my view, the Chinese Government have taken the action indicated in paragraph 2 of your Excellency's despatch of the 15th January last.
I have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.
