My dear Southorn,

I am sorry that I did not realise when

you called here this afternoon that the Hong

Kong sketches are actually here at the Colonial

Office. I had thought that we had returned them

to Sir Walter Hose.

Perhaps you woulu get

the Department to show them to you when you

are next here.

Meanwhile, I am letting Hose

know that you have arrived, and will have a look

at the pictures.

If you are disposed to like them on first

inspection, we could then consider the suggestion

that you made to me this afternoon about getting

the Crown Agents to have them valued.

(Sgd.)J.E.Shuckburgh.

Sir Wilfrid T. Southorn, K.B.E., C.M.G.
