Dear Butler,

We have sent you an official

letter about the garrison of South China, of which

the enclosed is a copy. The India Office are

pressing us for an early decision.

Mr Asquith would be glad if Mr

Harcourt, after looking into the papers, would

be good enough to confer with him on the subject.

I am making a similar request to

the Foreign Office to whom we have written in

the same sense.

F. G. A. Butler Esq.,

Yours sincerely,

здесь
