My Lord,

Me 57-

Liva. Sept 13.1871.

A gentleman named "Armero", who

tells me he has entered into a contract with Mr

H. Meiggs, the railway Contractor in Peru, to introduce 5000 Chinese for the Railway

Service

on a new system which will ensure to them a much better kind of treatment than what

many Chinese Emigrants experience under the present system here, has requested me to write to the Governor of Hongkong

and ask him

I declined doing,

as

I wished to inform Y.L.P. first of this new undertaking.

I inclose copy & translation of a letter which Mr Armero

presented to me

from the Ex. Sec. Lozano, Peruvian Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Perhaps Y.L.P. will deem it proper that this

new undertaking may be made known to the Earl Granville.
