Gentlemen,
I have this day had the honor to receive your letter of the 19th instant, and in reply have to request that you will proceed to make provision, in such situations as you think most eligible, for the location of the Chinese who are anxious to settle at Hong Kong.
The proposed expense of six hundred dollars for watering places is also sanctioned and will be charged in the Land Officer's accounts.
