Dear Ronald,

With reference to previous correspondence

about the extension of the lease of the New

Territories of Hong Kong, you may like to have the

attached copy of a semi-official letter which

Northcote has sent to Moore which summarises his

attitude both on that matter and on the policy

generally vis-à-vis Japan in present circumstances.

Yours sincerely,

G. 2.J. Gent.

N.B. Ronald, Esq., C.M.G., C.v.0.
