REC REG 20 APR 18

H.12.

Whitehall,

S.W. 1.

19th April 1918.

I an dirooted to acknowledge the receipt of your letter lo. 19004 of the 18th April, enclosing a copy of a telegram to the Governor of Hongkong, on the subject of the use of cipher by the Russian Conaul at that station.

I

I understand from the admiralty that the official in London to whom it is desired to allow the use of siphor is 1. Nabokoff, the ex-Counsellor to the Russian Embassy and ex-Chargé d'Affaires. The Charge d'affaires is H. Litvinoff to whom, believe, the admiralty are desirous that the messages should not be addressed. I would therefore suggest that the telegram to the Governor of Hongkong| should be amended accordingly.

I em,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Colonel

The Under Secretary of State,

Oolonial Office.
