Hongkong 50th January.
I beg to apologize to His Excellency the Governor for delaying delivery of the accompanying letter written on the 14th November last.
My object was to obtain more information than I previously possessed as to the probable effect of discontinuing Ecclesiastical grants and allowances standing where they had been of long standing.
Such information, however, I find it difficult to procure; and I beg to submit my former letter for His Excellency's consideration.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) Fr. Kingsley,
Colonial Chaplain.
The Honourable
K. J. Stewart, Ed.D.,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
