Sir,

General Post Office
Hongkong, 9th September, 1899.

I enclose herewith copy of a despatch
received from Peking and venture to ask if your office
is amongst those referred to.

I do so as such sale, as that indicated,
appears to be an evasion of the spirit, if not of the
letter of Sec.3 of Art. 17 of the Washington Convention.

The matter has been referred to London and will doubtless
be considered at Berne.

The Director General of Posts
Tokio.

The Minister of Posts and Telegraphs
Berlin.

The Minister of Posts and Telegraphs
Paris.

The Postmasters

I have etc,
