HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S CONSULATE GENERAL CANTO N

April 16th, 1905.

Sir:-

I have the honour to report that on my arrival at Canton I requested His Majesty's Consul General, Mr. Scott, to inform the Viceroy that I was there and that I would like to pay my respects to His Excellency.

Ten o'clock this morning was the time fixed for my audience and shortly after nine Mr. Scott and I proceeded in the customary official chairs to the Yamen. The Viceroy most politely sent a guard of honour which formed up on the bridge connecting Shameen with the mainland and presented arms as I passed on my outward and homeward journeys. Mr. Scott informs me that as far as he knows this is the first occasion such a mark of courtesy has been shown and it may be taken as evidence of the Viceroy's wish to be friendly.

Sir E. Satow, G.C.M.G.

&c. &c. &c.
