Dear Beckett,

Thank you for your

letter of the 11th November about the negotiations for the surrender of our extraterritorial rights in China and the

proposed assurance with regard to matters of personal status.

So far as the Colonies are concerned, the proposed assurance quoted in the third paragraph of your letter would be all right.

Yours sincerely,

H.D.

W.E. BECKETT, ESQ., C.M.G.
