nowledge receipt of your letter marked 24977 of the
11th instant enclosing the draft of a despatch to the
Governor of Hongkong on the subject of direct com-
munication between His Excellency and His Majesty's
Diplomatic Representatives in the Far East.
I am to inform you in reply that Sir E. Grey
concurs in the terms of Lord Crewe's draft despatch
to Sir F. Lugard; he would however suggest that a
paragraph might be added to the draft, pointing out
that the objections raised by Sir F. Lugard in para-
graph 3 of his despatch of June 12th last are met to
Lov 24977
a considerable extent by the rule laid down in the
last sentence of Lord Crewe's despatch to His Excel-

I am, Sir,
e Under Secretary of State,
