Dear Barnett,
Your letter of 4th December about reciprocal visa
arrangements.
I enclose a copy of our letter of 2nd July, 1935, to
the Commissioner of Public Safety, Canton, and a translation of
his reply of 15th October, 1935. There seems some doubt from
the minutes whether the translation should be "and/or" or only
"and" after "born in Hong Kong" but I am inclined to think from
the sense and the Chinese habit of leaving out conjunctions, the
former must have been meant. We only possess, unfortunately, the
translation.
K. M. A. Barnett, Esquire,
Colonial Secretariat,
HONG KONG.
Yours sincerely,
sgd. RONALD HALL.
