My dear Sir,

15th December 1865
I have received a letter from the Mil. Office relative to the proposed New Road from near the Governor's House to near the Happy Valley, and with some further details as to the boundary Walls near the Magazine. It will not be objected to by the Home Authorities, so that there appears to be no objection to the proposition now being put into a practical form.
When by? Jett Surveyor General Hongkong.
Yours,
