From Pie I. I had asked that his Lord Janville might wish to communicate with the Consul at Canton, who had his opinion but declined all responsibility as to the decision to be taken.
He had given his opinion per despatches in 16/230 and I suppose we must telegraph out the contents of this letter, but who is to have the responsibility of deciding as to giving up the 13 fugitives? Some decision ought to be taken at once.
To GES Jul 18/11. I am writing to Sir Philip Cunliffe-Owen. I think he might dare say his opinion, but he probably forgets that it is only diplomatists who do much by conversations.
The Foreign Office is naturally unwilling to act according to Junco and him conversing roughly, of which he has no record which he can produce as his justification. At the same time, we do not know what is being said at Pekin, or what is the nature of the passing Government's opinion.
We can only ask J.D. what answer should be sent to Foreign Minister's telegram - in consequence of a mistaken message from Kr. Lade. The opinion is generally against the surrender.
For: Healy comes have actually been in favour of surrender all through. J.J. 12. 18/11.
Rond Kimbully has been driven to F.O. stating that H.M.G. understand from this that Lord Granville does not think any further instructions are calling for a little.
