With reference to your letter of 6th instant and

mine in reply of 8th idem., I bag to inform you that I have

now received a telegram from the Chairman of the Committee

of this Conference at Hong Kong indicating that in view of

Messrs W. A.Hannibal & Co. having been recognised by the Govern-

ment of the Colony as a British Firm he desires that I will

inform him by telegraph whether the various Conference Linea

are to persist in their refusal to carry cargo tendered by

that firm,

Before therefore replying to his enquiry I am to

ask that you will please inform me whether it is now agreed

that we shall be in order in continuing to follow the in-

structions contained in the letter from the Foreign Office

to Mr. Richard D. Holt dated 7th ultimo.

I am, Bir,

Your obedient Servant

Morthman
