DRAFT.

by Hong Kong in so far as it relates to letters from soldiers.

The extension of the concession to letters from members of the Navy is exceptional; but the Postmaster General sees no great objection to it as an individual act on the part of the Colony. As regards letters from other British Colonies and from both voluntary and regular Possessions, it will be necessary for the Post Office of Hong Kong to seek the concurrence of the Post Offices of destination concerned in order to avoid the surcharging of the correspondence by the latter.
