THE BRITISH NAVAI, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF,
CHINA STATION.
H.M.S. "KENT" at Weihaiwei.
12th November, 1935.
My dear Ambassador,
Thank you for your letter of 11th October
1935, No. 18/68/1935. The present situation with
regard to co-operation by the Chinese Maritime Customs
in anti-piracy work is shown in the attached copies
of letters, which, as you will see are the result
of just such a discussion as you suggest.
I have directed the Commodore, Hong Kong,
and the Staff officer (Intelligence), Shanghai, to
take the steps necessary to embody the new
arrangement in the Naval organisation.
I must apologise for not having sent you
copies of these letters earlier.
Yours sincerely,
(SOD) FRXD. C. DREYER.
His Excellency,
The British Ambassador to China.
