Dear Poynton,

54

Many thanks for your letter of the 12th October (54002/40) about the building of minesweepers in Hong Kong.

I enclose a copy of a letter I have

sent to the Admiralty from which you will see that concur in the suggestion you make. Perhaps you will let us know what is the outcome of the Governor's investigations after his return to Hong Kong.

A. H. Poynton Esq,

Colonial Office.
