After compliments. It is not hidden from you that I have had consider
able trouble in many cases (that arose) in my territory in which foreigners
were involved. Por this reason I wish that I may not be held responsible in
these cases and I would be grateful to the British Government if they remove
this trouble and responsibility from me. I mean that it (the British Govern
ment) should exercise authority in all cases in which foreigners only are con
cerned, but not in other cases; and in cases that occur between foreigners and
my subjects, it is necessary that you and I should settle them jointly.
