I transmit to you herewith copy of a letter from
the Colonial Office on the subject of the adherence of
Bermuda to the International Opium Convention, and I
request that you will now sign the Convention on behalf
of that Colony.
As soon as the Convention has been signed on
behalf of Bermuda, there will remain no further objec-
tion to the Convention being ratified by His Majesty's
Government. I should be glad therefore if you would
he Honcurable
obtain from the Netherlands Government as soon as
possible a copy of the Protocol recording the
signatures handed in subsequently to the original
signature of the Convention (including that of Bernuda),
in order that the ratification of this country may be
Cuposited without delay.
I am, with great truth and regard,
Sir A. Johnstone, G.C.V.O.

&c.
sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
for Sir R. Grey)
