The request is granted. He may go to Macao. This must be
shown at the several custom-houses on the route, and on arrival
at Macao it is to be surrendered to the collector there.
(Seal of the Hoppo.)
_Note._--To be countersigned at the West Fort and at Che-Nae.
No. 3.
This pass is to be countersigned along the whole route
to Macao. Yu, by Imperial decree Acting Hoppo for the Port
of Canton. Raised two degrees! Whereas it is evident that,
to ensure safety and uninterrupted travelling between Canton
and Macao, barbarians should be furnished with passports for
exhibition at the custom-houses on the way, that they may be
allowed to proceed, and the time of arrival and departure at
each is to be noted on them. All difficulty thus removed, and
no excuse for loitering or wandering, how can disturbances
arise? On arrival at Macao the pass must be delivered to the
custom-house there, to be returned to this office and cancelled.
It is highly important that they (to whose hands it shall come)
attend to this injunction.
_Memorandum._--One boat, containing one barbarian named
H----, who in the 4th moon, 16th sun, starts from the capital.
