I am directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain to
acknowledge the receipt of your letters P 2972 , P 2973,
P 2974 and P 3254/28 of the 19th, 12th and 26th ultimo,
respectively, enclosing proofs of various narratives which
it is proposed to include in the revised edition of
Aitchison’s Treaties.
2. In returning the proofs herewith, I am to state
that Sir Austen Chamberlain does not wish to offer any
observations with regard to the narratives of Eastern
Turkestan and Nepal, and that, as regards the Tibet
narrative, he concurs in the suggestion of the Government
of India that the Anglo-Tibetem Trade Kegulations of July
1914 should not be included therein and that no reference
should be made to them in the text.
3. With regard to the Siam narrative I am to suggest,
for the consideration of the Secretary of State for India,
that the proposed new paragraph on page 10 of the proof
should read: -
