My Lord,
Government House, Hong Kong, April 16th, 1842,
I have the honor to enclose two Memorandums, of Fire Engines and Surveying Instruments, which are much required for the use of this settlement, in the hope that should they be available in store at Calcutta, Your Lordship will be so good as to order them to be issued on account of Her Majesty's Government; and forwarded to A.B. Fetherston, Esqre., &c., by the first opportunity.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) Henry Pottinger
Chief Superintendent
Right Honorable
Sir George Arthur, Bart.,
&c. &c. &c.
