Your telegrain No. 38 of the 5th instant.
Peking, March 7, 1910,
My idea would be that the post of deputy inspector-general should be abolished as soon as the Chinese Government have discovered some polite means of removing Bredon, which I understand to be their intention. I presume he would decline to serve under one of his juniors.
