[Re: 28 OFC J4]
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Hong Kong, 25th October, 1894.
I am directed by the Governor to inform you in reply to your letter of the 23rd instant that His Excellency has requested the Secretary of State to correct the error in the Report of the Retrenchment Committee to which you refer.
His Excellency does not regard the passage you object to as being a reflection on your Department.
I have the honour to be,
Dir.
Your most obedient servant,
J.D. Stewart Lockhart,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
The Honourable
The Harbour Master.
