I regret to find that, upon examining the wording of your letter and my reply thereto, it appears that His Excellency is of the opinion that further reference must be made to the Secretary of State before I can be allowed to retain such fees.

I must not be considered out of order in bringing to His Excellency's notice that I was permitted by the Secretary of State to receive and retain a fee of half a Dollar for each Chinese Emigrant leaving here under Contract for the West Indies.

I quote this permission from the Secretary of State to show that I had been permitted to receive fees in addition to my fixed Salary previous to the passing of Ordinance No. 8 of 1871, which, including the disposition of fees, has also received the sanction of the Imperial Government.

The Section in question (XI) refers also to the remuneration of the Consuls at the open ports of China.
