With reference to your letter of the 22nd June

Acting Governor of Hong Kong covering an application from
Mr W. Chatham for remuneration in respect of his services
in connection with the acquisition of Mr Sharp's property,
I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
to inform you that My Lords would be glad if the Secretary
of State would be so good as to favour them with his
opinion as to what would be a fair and reasonable amount
to pay to Mr Chatham for the services rendered.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Under Secretary of State
