Menipotentiaries dated the 26th October 1840 (of which an extract is anneved) that His Lordship on any topic connected with you should address at Moroking, and I therefore by you from doing so in your duties will abstain.
It is, I should immagine, almost superfluous me to point out the necessity for this request, even it as a matter of choice as it with on reflection be obvious to me at that that so long as Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary and the Governor General of India, look to the person who is alone responsible for the conduct of affairs at Hongkong, it is not possible your reports (from which my opinions may widely differ) should be taken into consideration, or Instructions grounded on them.
I got to be this occasion further to draw your attention to Captain Elliot's instructions to you dated 11th of March 1841 as immediately bearing on the subject of this letter, of which a copy will be transmitted to the information of his Lordship Governor General.
For filiation. I have the honor to be,
