Dear Sir Miles,

I append hereto, for your information, a copy

of a letter, concerning the proposed Customs Agreement

with Hongkong, which I sent to Stephenson (the Customs

Secretary in London) yesterday.

I may mention that the Governor designate has

expressed a desire to see me in Hongkong as soon as

possible after his arrival in the Colony, and I intend,

therefore, to go South next month and get into contact

with him in connection with the Agreement.

I trust that

misunderstanding on the subject will be removed and that

a settlement of the question will result otherwise the

Customs will be compelled to take independent action and

establish something very like a Preventive blockade.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) F. E. MAZE

To

His Excellency,

Sir Miles Wedderburn Lampson, K.C.M.G., C.B., M.V.O.,

NANKING.
