OPIUM Agreement.

Foreign Office, May 29, 1911.

I have received your despatch No. 199 of 8th May, and congratulate you warmly on the satisfactory result of your labours, which I feel is largely due to the skill and patience with which you have conducted the negotiations.

It is proposed to lay the agreement and two notes--but without your covering despatch--at once.
