See the first part of the L.O. Report - If Lord Granville will tell us definitively what it means we may be able to frame a telegram - but in any case it is their duty to give us the state of actual information by telegrams - if they are too idle to prepare their thoughts.

I fear we must ask for a little lucidity - the second part is intelligible.

I shall have to draft the reply. It turns upon various points from Hayton. But I don't understand the 1st part of the L.O. Report. I require for E. Hertslet's memorandum to be sent to me. Don't ask for it privately.

It is possible for printing Enclosure. Jan 2

May reply with reference to the first part of the L.O. Report that however desirous, any such special conditions in the present case are concluded. It is advisable by some other instruction, then there is a right for the person to be brought to Colonial Office explaining the circumstances, lacking in Low in Coal, it is warlike Equipment.

Derby writes it would be my unfortunate duty to leave office without such Explanation.

Event in the strictest uption being later than its action such Government wants no doubt be balanced. And reported that it would therefore be desirable to explain that warlike Expression (assuming it be adhered to) includes the taking in otter supplies which would assist naval operations & not be an accessory to the purpose of moving to Canton then no operations commonly for place.
