I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter, and to state that, in my opinion, it is undesirable to take any action against the opium farmers at present.

It is a pity Smuggling is ever at hand, being the only party who can fix a limit, practically, to their existence on Chinese soil.

As long as no attempt is made to force their establishments with work on British territory, there is nothing to be undertaken in the matter, at present.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,
