Government Offices, Victoria Hongkong, 19th July 1859.
I have the honor to forward a letter from Mr. Loney, Master Attendant at this Port, applying for the post of Harbor Master of Hongkong.
Mr. Mercer, the Colonial Secretary, has had more opportunities than myself of testing Mr. Loney's fitness.
The Right Honorable Sir Edward B. Lytton, Bart., M.P.
