sir,

With reference to Mr. Dixon's letter

of the 16th instant to Mr. Bentinck of this

Department, I am directed by Earl Curzon of Kedleston

to state that far from seeing any objection to the

Governor of Hong Kong paying visits to the Governors

of the Colonies of other Powers in the Far East,

Hie Lordship considera that there is everything to

be gained by such exchange of courtesies.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Cric Phipps

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,
