CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案 All AI Reviewed

Fate of 7th January a letter to the Private Secretary, copy of which I enclose, remarking on the alleged grounds on which the interview was refused and stating that, as the remainder of the subject matters of the Private Secretary's letter of 6th January referred to the official correspondence of your office, I would address you on this portion of the letter.

7. I now beg to draw your attention to a paragraph in the Private Secretary's letter, of 6th January 1882, containing - by inadvertence no doubt - significant misquotation and inaccuracy.

The paragraph in question begins thus:

3/175

From "the Colonial Secretary's letter to "you of the 19th December 1881, No. 2341, you saw that the Governor " would not enter into any discussion with you as to the inaccuracies "in your letter of the 17th December 1881, which you desire to have "forwarded to the Earl of Kimberley?"

8. There is here, to begin with, a significant misquotation in referring to "the" alleged inaccuracies of my letter of the 17th December, whereas the words in your letter to me of the 19th December, here quoted, referred only to "some" inaccuracies.
