The Royal Commission on Opium off the Finance Department, Calcutta

The Chairman directs me to add that, if the Marquis of Ripon should be unable to assent to the foregoing proposal, then it might possibly be necessary for the Commission to depute some of its members to visit the British possessions in the Shan States and China, as well as some of the Treaty ports, and to take evidence there. In such case Lord Brassey is prepared to say that he would be ready to undertake the journey.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Yours most obediently,
