GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON.

//March 1902.

Gov

4957

sir,

I am directed by the Postmaster General to acknowledge

the receipt of your letter of the 5th instant enclosing a

copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong respecting

the equivalent in Hong Kong currency of fifty centimes, the

unit forming the basis of the postage collected on parcels

sent from the Colony to France or to this country via France.

The Postmaster General understands that the Governor has

agreed to the proposal that the equivalent be fixed at 20

cents.

In this connexion I am to send to you thirty prints of

the Detailed Regulations for carrying out the Convention

concerning the exchange of parcels by post between France

and the Colonies of Ceylon, the Straits Settlements and Hong

Kong. The Secretary of State will doubtless cause some of

these to be forwarded to the Colonies concerned.

Ender Secretary of State,

COLONIAL OFFICE.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,
