Sir,

With reference to

my letter

of the 4th instant

I am directed by Earl Granville to

observe that it

may be said that British subjects profit out of

Chinese emigration,

and

we receive reports of its abuses without

doing more than make a feeble protest.

Minute Oct 22/72

This is

a serious matter

But we

are bound

to keep Hong Kong

clear

from

the plague.

Minute Oct 23/72

I am to

transmit

to you

a further despatch from Her Majesty's

Chargé d'Affaires in Japan,

to be laid before the Earl of Kimberly,

for his perusal.
