My dear Hose,

In case you may wish to let Mr. Gregor

Grant know what is happening to his collection

of sketches of Hong Kong, about which you came

to see me on the 13th of March, I am writing to

say that we are consulting Sir William Feel, the

Governor of Hong Kong, about the sketches and

suggesting that he might ask one of his officers

who happens to be on leave to inspect them ani,

if necessary, negotiate for their purchase.

I will let you know when I get his reply.

In the meantime, unless Mr. Gregor Grant wants

them back, the sketches will be retained in the

Colonial Office.

!

Sir Walter Hose, C.S.I.
