Letter from Richard Clarke, Secretary, to Dr Harland, Secretary, Hong Kong Branch of Royal Asiatic Society, to inform that the Society's package of the transactions of his Society are held up at Post Office because £3-10-0 is due which the Royal Asiatic Society refuses to pay. The Post Office will not relent because a 'large proportion' of this amount is due to the French Government. Clarke advises that future packets should not be sent as a letter but as a packet via Southampton. He continues that the Society has not had the pleasure of a visit from Mr Bowring (who in 1849 was appointed to as British Consul in Canton). (Found on page 93)

His request for help in publishing some documents cannot be agreed to as the Society does not have the funds. However the work, 'Polyglot of Oriental Poetry', was laid before a meeting, stamped, but then returned to sender when it had been remarked that if it had to be returned it would not have been stamped.
