Dear Commander Graves,

In reply to your letter of the 14th July,

I have looked up the Hong Kong Regulations about the

importation of dogs and I do not think you are

likely to have any difficulty.

The importer has to apply to the Colonial

Veterinary Surgeon for a permit to bring the dog

in and this can be issued on production of a

certificate, dated not more than two months before the

dog is imported into the Colony, from a duly

qualified veterinary surgeon, that for a period of

six months immediately prior to the date of such

certificate no case of rabies has been known to

occur in any district in which such dog has been:

and (in the case of a dog imported by water) a

statutory declaration by the master of the vessel,

or by the owner if he has travelled the vessel with

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER W.H. GRAVES, R.N.
