Adverting to your letter of the 16th November and War Office letter of the 23rd December last on the subject of the payment from Army Funds for the use of the troops of the Cathedral Church, Hong Kong, I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to acquaint you that such payment has been claimed from the 1st January, 1893, inclusive.
Mr Secretary Campbell-Bannerman accordingly desires me to request that you will be so good as to inform him whether the payment from Colonial Funds ceased prior to the 1st January, 1893, and whether the Marquis of Ripon recommends that the application now made should be acceded to.
The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Adolphus W. Slade
