In response to your own request of the last when I called, as desired, at the Colonial Office to discuss Cotton Cultivation-have now the honour to explain, as requested, the question of introducing the cotton plant into the new Territories Housing and incidentally its possible extension by the Chinese into their own adjacent districts.
