END
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 8th May, 1933, transmitting
a copy of an account from the Shanghai Municipal
Council for the burial of the late John Maria dos
Santos.
I regret that this Government cannot accept
liability for such expenditure, which should, I
consider, properly be met by the Administration of
the territory in which it was incurred.
I have, etc.,
(Signed) W. PEEL.
Governor.
