No.22

Sir,

83

17 FEB 2

Government House,

Hongkong, 17th January, 1902.

I have the honour to transmit for your information the enclosed copy of a letter from Captain Hastings, Postmaster-General, relative to the Chinese Branch Post Office which exists in the British Colony of Wei-Hai-Wei, and to enquire whether any action has yet been taken in the direction indicated in the 4th paragraph of that letter.

2.

I am not aware of the results of the conferences at Downing Street to which the Postmaster-General refers, nor has this Government been informed that the Chinese Post Office on Liu Kung Tau is to be abolished. I agree, however, with the arguments urged by Captain Hastings in his letter to the Under Secretary of State of May 1900, of which he has furnished me with a copy, and I venture to hope that the matter will receive the early consideration of His Majesty's Government.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,
