Dear Paskin,
Many thanks for your letter of 26th ultimo about the re-exportof dangerous drugs from Hong Kong. Delevingne agrees that the whole question can stand over till Smith arrives and it can be discussed with him.
He he asked me, however, to say,
with reference
to your remark that "the question is narrowed down to a consideration of consignments direct to a foreign Govern- ment" that in the cases last year the consignments were
to the addressed (so far as the correspondence shows) not Formos-an Government but to Samuel Semuel and Company. There was good reason to suppose that they might be part of a quantity of Persian opium imported into this country which the firm in question had been unable to dispose of her
You may be and had been allowed to re-export to Persia. interested to see the Home Office papers about that matter.
Yours sincerely,
J. J. Paskin, Esq.,M.C.,
Colonial Office.
