I am instructed by His Excellency the Governor to inform you that he has presented your paper concerning Hongkong, which request may be forwarded to Lord Stanley. In doing this, however, His Excellency deems it only right towards you to state, with reference to the contents of that paper, written as it was with the disadvantage of only a few weeks' knowledge of the place, that he could not forward it without passing his own judgment on the incorrectness of many of the facts and conclusions, and the absence of moderation.
