With reference to your letter dated 12th March 1897 14294 67 forwarding draft of despatch which Mr Chamberlain proposes with Lord Lansdowne's concurrence to address to the Governor of Hong Kong regarding the alterations and additions to be made to the Defences in that Colony. I am directed to acquaint you for the information of Mr Chamberlain that Lord Lansdowne concurs in the draft - herewith returned - ; but thinks it would be desirable to put the word "Shore" where crossed out in pencil; since the emplacements for the 2-4.7 in guns may be placed in Stonecutters West Battery
Under Secretary of State Colonial Office.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant
