Sir:-
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknowledge
You

the receipt of your letter 13993/1912 of the 7th. instant enclosing a paraphrase of a telegram from the Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong with regard to the
conditions on which His Majesty's Government will be pre-
pared to recognise the new Government of China.
Sir E. Grey desires me to suggest, for the consideration
of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that Mr. Severn
should be informed that the press statements to which he
refers are without foundation and that he is at liberty to
contradict them.
I am,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
