Dear Robinson,

Downing Street,

Downing

July, 1918.

Your letter of the 30th of May as regards

a possible supply of silver to India from Hong Kong. I

have again brought the matter forward here with the

result that Sir George Fiddes has discussed it with kr

Bewins, and the opinion they came to was that in view of

the arrangerents made by Lord Reading in the United

States of America there is no urgency as regards an

alternative source of supply.

You will see from an official letter which is

coming to you that the Straits Settlements will, I

regret to say, have no more silver to sell to India in

connection with their recoinage operations, over and

above the four million dollars already sold. We are

agreeing to the price arranged between the Governor of

the Straits Settlements and the Government of India for

W.ROBINSON, ESQ.
