Dear Sir,
In a recent conversation which I had with Mr. Wellesley, the Chief of the Far Eastern Department of the Foreign Office, an old-standing difficulty in connection with the Tonnage Measurement of certain Hongkong vessels was referred to. Mr. Wellesley kindly gave me an introduction to Mr. Grindle of the Colonial Office with whom I discussed the question, and at his suggestion I now venture to address you on the subject.
What is at issue is partly a technical matter of Tonnage Measurement, concerning which I have to rely on my expert advisers, and partly a matter of comity between Great Britain and China.
The technical side of the question can apparently only be discussed with the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, Colonial Office.
