With reference to your letter of the 23rd ultimo, No: 2431/1902-3, stating that the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company have decided not to purchase the land adjacent to Kowloon Marine Lot No: 27, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of Mr Secretary Chamberlain, that the Secretary of State for War concurs in the modification of the arrangement described in the memorandum enclosed in War Office letter of the 26th June 1902, Hong Kong 8/135, by the omission of the words "except the Colonial Military land at Kowloon "required for the extension of the dock" and also by the omission of para: (b) on page 3.
2. It is thus agreed that the land at Kowloon, not being required for the dock, shall be included in the general valuation referred to in paragraph 2 of the above-mentioned memorandum.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
B. Brade
Under Secretary of State,
