H. B. M. Consulate-General,
Shanghai,
18th January, 1916.
I am informed that money is being sent to
enemy prisoners of war through the Post Office.
His Majesty's Minister, to whom I refermed
on application from a British Bank, on the 3rd instant
informed me that the whole question of payments to such.
prisoners had been referred to His Majesty's Foreign Office
and that meanwhile he could not authorise payments or
remittances of any nature to such prisoners.
Under these circumstanoes I suggest that
postal remittances should likewise be suspended until I
hear further from His Majesty's Leration.
I have &0.,
(sd.) E. R. Fraser,
Consul-General.
T. Harborne, Esq.,
H. B. '■ Postmaster,
Shanghai.
