CUSTOMS succession.

Peking, October 31, 1909.

I have received your telegram No. 174 of yesterday's date.

I was under the impression that I had already answered your telegram No. 168 of

the 9th October, but regret to find that I have not done so.

The action proposed in your latter telegram has my entire approval.
