sir,

We have the honour to acknowledge with

thanks the receipt of your two letters Nos. 1 in 6854/08 dated

the 2nd. instant with the enclosures mentioned therein.

In reply to the 2nd. paragraph of your

letter we may state that altogether 13 chests of opium were

shipped to Messrs. Sales and Company between the 22nd. and

29th. ultimo and we understand that, with the exception of a

very small portion, all the opium has been sold by them in

Canton and has gone into the interior without the payment of

the new tax. From latest information to hand, however, it

appears that on Wednesday last 10 balls of opium bought from

this firm were seized by the Kwang Un General Office outside

Shameen and we understand that the matter was at once reported

to the French Consul, who has lodged a strong protest and

demanded the release of the opium. We have no information yet

as to the result of the protest.

We have etc.,

(sd.) R. H. Joseph,

Manager,

David Sassoon & Co., Ld.

(Sd.) E. Dy Sassoon & Co.
