Miss Mary Macgregor in Hong Kong, I have the honour to

Enclo.No.1. enclose for your perusal a copy of the Police reply to

•

Mr. Badger's complaint of undue delay on their part. Mr.

Badger appears to be unaware of the extent of the enquiries

involved in a case of this nature and of the care that must

be exercised by the Police before any sort of report is

possible.

Enclo.No.2 cable is also enclosed, together with a certified copy of Enclo.No.3.the Great Northern Telegraph Company's telegram shewing the

amount charged.
