Sir, I have the honour to enclose for the consideration of the Secretary of State for the Colonies a letter which I have addressed to Lord Brassey, President of the Opium Commission. I should be much obliged if His Lordship would move the India office to forward the letter to its destination.
Perhaps you would kindly have checked before transmission my statement of the Hongkong death-rate which is given from memory.
Sir, I have the honour to be, Your most obedient servant to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
