Convention would apply, its adherence would be a merely nominal act, and would not involve the Government in any expenditure. Any small charges which might arise from unforeseen circumstances, I should be happy to defray.

I forward herewith a copy of the convention, but until a duplicate arrives, for which I have telegraphed, I should regard it as a favor if this might still be looked upon as belonging to my company.

The adherence of the Hong Kong Government to the International Convention will probably enable the Company permanently to lower some of its rates, and I have therefore the honor respectfully to solicit your favorable consideration of this proposal.

I have &c.

(Signed) J. Euston Squier

Superintendent.
