I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of
Your Excellency's letter of November 14th last on the
subject of the addition of an article, dealing with the acceptance and conveyance of postal matter, to the Anglo-
Chinese Hongkong Customs Agreement. You state that it
must be made clear whether this is the last time that the
Chinese Government wish to alter the agreement, and whether,
if the addition of this article is made, it will be
published and the provisions of the agreement agreed to and
put into force.
In reply I have the honour to state that, with
the exception of the addition to the above mentioned
agreement of the article concerning the conveyance of
Chinese postal matter, no further alteration will be made;
and after its addition the provisions of the agreement will
be agreed to and put into force.
It is hoped that Your Excellency will now
give your consent to the insertion of the article in
question and inform me accordingly.
(Signed) Kao Erh Ch'ien,
(on behalf of the M.F.A.).
