In accordance with the instructions sentained

in your telegram No. 18 of July #1 I have the

honour to offer the following observations with

regard to the redemption of the paper currency hither-

to in circulation in Kuangtung.

After having informed you by telegram that

the first day's proceedings had shown that it would be likely to go through moothly and without

disturbance, I had not intended to furnish you with an account of daily happeninga, as minor dif- ficulties which cropped up from time to time vere usually disposed of within forty-eight hours, but had intended to wait until redemption had been completed, so that you would be placed in posses– sion of a comprehensive report on the proceedings

in their entirety.
