I am directed by the Postmaster General to refer to your letter
of the 29th April, enclosing a copy of a telegram from the Governor
of Hong Kong proposing certain increases in the rates of postage in Hong Kong as from the 1st June.
It is understood that the proposals relate not only to domestic and inter-Empire postage rates, but also to the international letter
and postcard rates; and a letter, of which a copy is enclosed, has accordingly been sent to the Swiss Post üffice under Article 105, §1,
of the Detailed Regulations of the Postal Union Convention.
The International Bureau of the Postal Union will be duly
informed of the new rates applicable to (a) letters within the Colony
and (b) letters and postcards for destinations within the British
Empire.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
KtWilliamson
