I have ventured to trouble His Grace with these details, because
the receipt of such a gift, be the value small or great, is contrary to a general principle, and I most respectfully ask for the expression of His Grace's opinion as to whether under the peculiar circumstances it would be right for me to retain the Cup, and, if not, in what way I should dispose
of it so as to avoid giving offence to the whole Chinese community, merchants and others, all of whom were

best apologies
for occupying so much of His Grace's time, but I was anxious to avoid falling into a mistake with regard to
such a unusual matter.
