Dear Mr. Meyer,-As the outcome of your recent letter to me and of the interview which I have bald with you and others upon the pre sent praition of the opium question, I write, in accordance wìb 'promise, to say that I am in fall accord with you in desiting that the subject should be kept before the public in England and that people shoold, as occasion serves, be everywhere romleded of England's peculiar responsibilities in this auxions and difficult mat. tar. No one can look with satisfaction, and few I think, can look without a sense of national self-reproach and even shama, at the greard of eur country's relation to the opium question, I am certain that at this moment our responsible stalermo, bath in the India Office, and the Forniga Office, are as anxions as any of ni càn be that right should be deze, and that efect should be given as speedily as may be to the desien now widely entertained in China, and not less nigeriş madorsed by us, that the trade which has caused so much mischief should come to an end.
