Dear Seal,
With reference to the draft telegram
to the Commander-in-Chief, China, in reply to
his 2009/12 about the "Chah Sing" incident at
Hong Kong. We would like to suggest the addition
of the following sentence at the end of the draft:
"In any case Chinese vessels of war,
whether neutral or otherwise, have specific
right of use of waters of Mirs Bay and Deep
Bay under 1898 Agreement with China relating
to Hong Kong leased territory.

Yours sincerely,
So GF I GENT.
