3. I have considered whether it
would be desirable to insert in the draft
reply a reference to the position in
China of persons of dual nationality,
British and Chinese, but I have decided
not to do so in as much as the question
is one of great difficulty, and moreover
does not appear to be cognate to the
general purpose of the French Consul's
enquiries.
4. I have to request that you will
now reply to the French Consul in the
terms of the draft originally submitted
with the amendments suggested above, and
inform me when you have done so.
I have, etc
(for the Secretary of State)
