r. Anderson eventually forwarded en clair the
message, which formed the subject of the correspondence
enclosed in this despatch. It appears that it related to
information to be communicated to the Customs Authorities at
San Francisco that opium had been illicitly put on board the
S.S."Korea". If Lr. Anderson had asked me to do so I should
have been lad to send the message forward through His Britan-
nic Majesty's Ambassador at Washington.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
huble servant,
Horzin
Governor,&c.
