I transmit to you Copies
of the most recent correspondence which has passed between this

respecting the land to be reserved
in
the Kowloon Peninsula for the
construction of Barracks and Batteries and I trust that the decision which Her Majesty's Government have arrived at on the subject will be satisfactory to the
Colonial
