GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 22nd September, 1921.

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt

of Lord Milner's despatch No.415 of the 2nd of lovember, 1920, and your despatch No.160 of the 10th of June, 1921,

with regard to the renewal of the licence granted to the Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company,

in respect of cables landed in Hongkong.

2.

Two copies of the indentures enclosed in

Lord Milner's despatch are returned herewith duly completed

for transmission to the Telegraph Company and to the General

Post Office.

3.

I much regret the delay in forwarding these

documents which was due to an erroneous conclusion that

certain negotiations for the sale of the foreshore at North

Point where the cable lands might render necessary alterat-

-ions in the documents.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble servant,

7.2. Stucts

Governor, &c.

WINSTON CHURCHILL, M.P..
