Sir,

In reply to the second paragraph of your despatch No.262 of the 23rd November, I have the honour to inform you that the agreement of June, 1888, has been definitely cancelled by the contract of 25th May, 1897, section 21.

Mails for other parts of India are transhipped at Colombo, and from thence are conveyed by British India steamers. The latter are subsidised by the Government of India, though this Colony pays its share of the sea-transit.

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

Governor, &c.

To

The Right Honourable
