Mr. Ebden

In addition to the actual correspondence with the Circular, the papers should, I presume, include the earlier correspondence with Straits + Hongkong on the subject:

viz

13. M. Bozer's letter 13030/89

18559/89, 20321/89

and 2 despatches from Mauritius,

21999/89, 1222/89-90, 1591/89-90, 15529/89 & desp. from Mauritius?

1. Should not a reminder be sent to the few Colonies that have not answered the Circular?

3. When the papers are typed, I should like to circulate the proof with a minute suggesting an answer to be sent to Hongkong Straits.

2) I understand Lord Knutsford's promise in the House of Lords to have included, besides the collection of information, an undertaking whether Hongkong & Labuan could not somehow be asked to imitate the other better behaved Colonies?
