I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknow-

ledge the receipt of your letter of the 2nd. instant

Jo

No. 338 on the subject of the criticisms made by Sir

F. May against the attitude adopted by Mr. Consul

General Jamieson towards the Kwantung Opium Regula-

tions of last summer.

Sir E. Grey notes with satisfaction that Mr.

Secretary Harcourt shares the view taken by himself

}

and His Majesty's Minister at Peking that there is no

foundation for the charges brought against that

officer, and he agrees in thinking that, as Sir F. May

has now left Hongkong and taken up his new duties in

Fiji, there would be no object in bringing the matter

officially before him and that it is sufficient if

copies of the correspondence are sent to the Colonial

Government.

e Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am, Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Fa Cambbell
