United States Ambassador should Lord Crewe concur. It
would seem that by the proposed alteration in the
instructions to the delegates, the necessity for fresh
investigations into the opium question, which Lord
Crewe would prefer to dispense with, would be obviated.
With regard to the last paragraph of the India
Office letter, Sir E. Grey concurs in the proposal
that one delegate should be appointed to represent
India, another to represent the Crown Colonies, and a
third by the Foreign Office among His Majesty's Officers serving in China, and he has nominated as representative of this Department Sir Alexander Hosie, His
Majesty's Consul-General at Chengtu and Acting Commercial Attaché to His Majesty's Legation in China.
In the event of Lord Crewe also concurring, he will be
glad to learn in due course for communication to the
Government of the United States the name of the Delegate whom His Lordship proposes to nominate.
