description duly arrived here and have

by my direction been shipped back to London by the S. 8. "Peleus" consigned to the Holland China Trading Company.

I enclose copy of correspondence on the subject,

As there does not seem to have been any attempt

at concealment by the Holland China Trading Company at Rotterdam, I did not consider that the case was one for a prosecution for trad- -ing with the enemy.
