In reply to your cypher telegram of 11th December, I

have to inform you that Governor General of Australia has te- legraphed that he is prepared to take the prisoners and interned women and children. £750 is the cost of preparing

accommodation for them and their maintenance will come to

about £1,000 a month which is about the cost here. For

somewhere about £10,000 I can arrange for their transport including return passages for their guards. I have offered to meet these charges from Hongkong funds. Should be much obliged if you would telegraph as early as possible whether you approve. Prisoners can sail on January 15th.

MAY.
