Sir,

yoo.

With reference to your letter of the 21st ultimo, .27443/15 relative to the disposal of German Munitions

of War in store at Hong-Kong, I an commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralt to acquaint you that they

would be glad if the Secretary of State would be so good as

to request the Governor of Hong-Kong to ship to England,

at the first convenient opportunity, the 800 Rounds of

Mauser Rifle Cartridges contained in a metal-lined case.

2. My Lords would suggest, for the consideration

of the Secretar of State for the Colonies, that if the

remainder f these munitions of war are not required

by the War Office they should be destroyed.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am,Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Whakampeene
