Dear Sir Edward Grey:-

On behalf of the Edinburgh Committee for the sup-

pression of the Indo-Chinese Opium traffic I send you a

memorial signed by representatives of Divinity, Medicine,

Law, Trade and Women's Work, and which contains about 3,000

signatures. Whilst the petition comes from the Edinburgh

Committee it contains names from all parts of Scotland so

that it is wholly of a representative character. I trust

you will give the memorial your earnest consideration as the

subject is one which is keenly felt by all classes in Scot-

land.

(Signed)

I am &c.,

Chas. E. Price.
