Sir,
City Hall
Hongkong 12th October 1880.
Herewith I have the honour to
forward in triplicate a despatch addressed to Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies and should feel obliged if
His Excellency the Governor would be kind
enough to have the
despatch
forwarded
by
the
first opportunity. We have sent our order to obviate delay as
our copy has been forwarded to the Secretary of State
direct by the outgoing English Mail.
The Hon: F. Stewart,
Colonial Secretary
Acting.
I have the honour to be
Your
Sir,
most obedient Servant
W. Keswick
Chairman.
