Kowloon territory, the inhabitants of which are fortunate indeed
to have been born in such a place and to be living at such a
time.
Henceforth we shall dwell in our homes enjoying
peace and quiet and free from all care and anxiety under the
protections of a good and Just government.
Such happiness has been the hope and dream of
our lives and joyful indeed are we that at last our wish is
realised.
The people of this territory humbly pray that
Your Excellency will condescend to accept this Tablet as a
slight mark of their feeling of respect and gratitude.
Respectfully presented by the inhabitants of the
Eastern part of the Territory.
1899.
