Addressed to Hong Kong 238 December 20.
Japanese Consul-General informed me mail will be sent to Macao from Canton by military transport on December 22 and that this transport will leave Macao for Canton at 7 a.m. December 23 and will bring any mail from Hong Kong for Canton which may be sent to Macao in time to be put on board. I suggest that Postmaster General, Hong Kong should make arrangements accordingly with postal authorities Macao.
