OAH/
Commander-in-Chief, approached the local
representatives of British shipping companies,
including your own, with the suggestion that grilles
should be fitted to ships trading anywhere on the China
coast, but the reply was that the cxpense would not be
justified and it is noted the SHUNTIEN was not so
fitted. My Lords hope that you will give further
consideration to this question.
I am,
etc.
