No. 210
XXXXX
Addressed to Canton No. 23 of March 6th.
Your telegram No. 39.
Unless your despatch No. 40 is likely to reach me
very soon please telegraph particulars of agreement in
question.
On present information I cannot understand why you have concluded an agreement with your Japanese colleague
in this matter without consulting me or even, it appears,
the Commander-in-Chief (see his telegram of March 2 to you,
repeated to Admiralty No. 77).
Repeated to Governor Hongkong No. 24, Commander-in-
Chief No. 59 and to Foreign Office.
