My dear General.
Government House,
Hongthong, 25th March 1879.
As far as the safety
and welfare of this kolony are concerned,
I am of opinion that half of the White troops here might be spared. If you
agree
with
me in this, and if you
and
the Governor of the Straits Settlements
also think that half a regiment there
DY
might be dispensed with, it would be possible to place either 74th Highlanders the 27th Regiment at the disposal of Her Majesty's Government for service in -
Natal or
India.
