I have the honour to inform you that Professor Simpson requested this Government, before his departure, to take steps to procure for him the necessary facilities and authority for obtaining photo-lithographs of the charts, maps and other material for his final Report referred to in my Despatch No. 248 of the 12th ultimo.
As it was not possible for Professor Simpson to have the necessary work done in Hongkong, I have the honour to request you to be so good as to afford him the assistance which he requires and instruct the Crown Agents to debit this Colony with any expenses which may be incurred.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.
