Dear Sirs,
With reference to your letter of guarantee dated 7th August requesting us to return the above packages to London, we are advised by our Hongkong Superintendent that on examination by the Customs Authorities at Hongkong three of the packages (Nos. 32, 33 & 35) were found to contain Umbrellas, Opium, and Morphia. These goods were at once seized by the Customs Authorities and are now in the hands of the Government. The other two cases (Nos. 34 & 36) contained only Umbrellas, and have now been returned to London per "Persia".
As three of these cases were incorrectly declared, shippers are liable for double freight, but under the rate on Opium viz: 100/- plus 5% per cubic feet, and we shall be glad to receive a remittance for £5-3-9.
With regard to the cases (2) now in London, we will hand you Delivery Order for same on receipt of half outward freight paid, namely 16/6.
Yours faithfully,
(signed)
