My Lord,
Having been requested by Mr. R. M. Martin to forward to Your Lordship the accompanying observations from himself on the Colony of Hongkong, I have complied with his request, but at the same time caused to be addressed to him the inclosed letter, in which I have conveyed my general opinion as to his paper.
It is fair, however, to observe that his remarks were written after only a few weeks residence, under circumstances of very indifferent health.
The Right Honorable,
Lord Stanley, M. P.
