Sir;-

I am directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to

acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 3rd

م الله

instant (8793) respecting certain bills bought by the

Deutsche Asiatische Bank at Hongkong.

As regards the 2nd paragraph of your letter, I am

to suggest that if Mr. Secretary Harcourt sees no ob-

jection, the Governor of Hongkong should be instructed

to forward to the Procurator of the British Prize Court

at Alexandria the bill relating to the s.s. "Sudmark"

and "Derfflinger", the cargoes of which are now before

that Court for adjudication. Sir Edward Grey agrees

that the remainder of the documentary bills should be

retained at Hongkong.

I am,

sir,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Wrangley
