Sir:-

I laid before the Marquess of Salisbury your

letter of the 16th instant forwarding a telegram

from the Governor of HongKong relative to the request

of the Viceroy at Foochow for the services of an

Officer of the Royal Artillery as Instructor and

general supervisor of Drill.

I am to state that there is no objection, so

far as the Foreign Office is concerned, to a compli-

ance with this request.

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am,

sir,

Your most obedient

humble Servant,

Francis Bertic
