Addressed to His Majesty's Ambassador Shanghai No.47 of
March 10th.
Your telegram No.229 to Foreign Office.
Arrangement is working with gratifying smoothness and I am reliably informed that the agreement to release detained ships may be expected within a few days. I would earnestly beg that in view of the above and for the reasons stated in my telegram No.46 repeated to Foreign Office as my telegram No. 23, paragraph 4, no instructions be sent to me prior to the receipt of my telegram
under reference.
Repeated to Foreign Office No. 24, Governor Hongkong No. 74
