I do not remember having ever been in treaty
with your Government re the said destitute Bylander, neither did
I know that the man was sent home by the local authorities, and
as it is a General International Rule, which is also applied to
the United Kingdom, that it is the Authorities of the Countries
itself who have to grant the necessary medical attendance and
relief to foreigners who have fallen into distress while living
within its territory, I am sorry I cannot comply with your
request to a refund the outlays, but have laid the case before
the Consul General for Sweden at Shanghai, and shall let you
know his reply as soon as I receive it.
I have etc.,
(Sd.) Swart,
Vice-Consul for Sweden,
je Honourable
The Colonial Secretary.
