Sir Edward Grey to Sir J, Jordan.

Foreign Office, July 5, 1914.

I HAVE received your despatch No. 210 of the 25th May, in which you state that have consented to place the provinces of Chekiang and Honan on the list of those into which Indian opium shall no longer be inported, and I approve your action in the matter.

I request that you will convey to Mr. Consul Smith an expression of my thanks for his report.

I am, &c.
