Enclo. No. 2.

In continuation of my secret despatch to

you, dated the 27th of September, 199, and with

reference to your memorandum, dated the 30th of

October, 1929, I have the honour to enclose

translation of a letter, dated the 26th of September,

1929, addressed to me by Lr. u Chih-yün (Luk Chi-wan)

who, you will observe, signs himself as "Comadssioner

of the Telegraph Office, liong Hong", In this

letter kr. Lu remarks, with what I can only call

effrontery in view of the circumstances of the case:-

How I propose to take over charge of the office on

the 1st October, and I send you this letter, hoping

that you will put it on record”. I enclose also

copy of a letter, dated the 5th of October, 1929,

which I caused to be sent to Kr. Lu by the

Colonial Secretary, informing him in reply to his

communication that I was not prepared to allow the

office of the Chinese Telegraph Administration in

this Colony to be taken over by anyone, whose name

had not been put forward by the Chinese Government

through the regular diplomatic channels and

formally approved by me.

HIS BAITARAIC BAJESTY'S LINIJER,

PEKIN G.
