The Inspecting Postmaster assures me that he
has no reason to believe that the bag, closed and
sealed by the Base Office, Tientsin, and addressed to
the Field Post Office, Peking, has on any occasion been
tampered with: but he is, of course, not in a position
to for any opinion, still less to have any knowledge,
as to whether the mails have been tampered with before
reaching Tientsin.
The Postal Agent of the British Post Office
informe me that there is reason to suppose that mails
sent viâ Siberia have been tampered with en route, but
that no complaints have reached him recently, and that
no case of a registered letter having been abstracted
has occurred for nearly a year. He speaks further of
the difficulty of formulating specific charges as the
seals always appear to be intact on arrival.
I have, &c.,
(Signed)
E. C. Wilton.
Acting Consul-General.
