My dear Grindle
Thank you for your letter No.52711/28 of the
17th ultimo regarding Lieutenant Commander Faure's
memorandum on piracy in South China. I have been
away on leave, and your letter has been await ing my
return.
In view of the changes that have taken place in
the character of the Canton régime, in the relations
between Hongkong and Canton, and in Canton's attitude
towards the piracy question, I agree with your proposal
to drop the whole discussion, and accordingly we shall
not reply officially to Colonial Office letter No.
52711/28 of January 31st.
Sir G. Grindle, K.C.M.G., C.B.
