Dear Sir Robert,
On the 17th instant I addressed a letter to the Colonial Office applying for permission to land the Shanghai Cable at Hongkong.
The S.S. "Scotia" is now approaching Singapore and should arrive at Hong Kong in the course of a few days, consequently it will be necessary to telegraph out instructions to the Hongkong Government as soon as possible.
I shall be happy to forward...
