Established at the Treaty Ports, I beg leave to enquire,
A. Whether you are willing to withdraw your agencies from the Ports and leave the postal work to be done by the Post Offices connected with and managed by direction of the Chinese Government, by the Imperial Customs?
2. When the withdrawal and substitution can take effect? (say January, 1887).
Taking into consideration that the Chinese Post Officer will receive and distribute the Hongkong inward mails, and make up and forward matter for outward mails, and thereby free your department from certain expenditure, I should like to be informed.
1. What proportion of the postage prepaid in China must be passed on to the Hongkong Post Office for the conveyance of Chinese Mails from Hongkong to Foreign Countries, and
2. What kind of stamps will be temporarily recognised in proof of prepayment in China.
Relying on your co-operation,
I have etc.
