SECRET.

Dear Sir Samuel,

I am much obliged to you for your note of yesterday

enclosing copy of the telegram from Clementi.

I hasten to communicate to you herewith copies of telegraphic correspondence exchanged with Lord Willingdon, from which you will see that the Delegation are now

themselves disinclined to visit Canton, and could not in

any case do so in full force.

In all the circumstances I am authorised to inform

you at once that we do not propose to press the

matter further, as you will no doubt wish to let Clementi

know that in view of the terms of Lord Willingdon's

reply the proposed visit to Canton has been definitely

dropped,

Brigadier-General

Yours Sincerely

George Mounsey.

Sir Samuel Wilson, K.C.M.G., K.B.E.,

I
