I have the honour to refer to your letter of the 28th March

As already stated in semi-official correspondence, the

terms proposed for the Hong Kong local issue appeared to us to be capable of improvement; but, in view of the Governor's telegram

Your obedient servant,

The Under Secretary of State,
