Crown Solicitor's Office,
Hongkong, 30th November, 1903.
Messrs. Denison, Kam & Gibbs.
Dear Sirs,
With reference to previous correspondence, I am now authorised to offer your client the sum of $10,000 in full settlement of her claim for compensation for the area in respect of which notice of resumption has been given including the dwelling house and all buildings, fruit-trees and crops thereon and all her expenses in connection with the resumption.
As the Government is advised that the amount offered is a liberal sum in excess of the value of the property to be resumed, I am to inform you that unless this offer be accepted by your client within a fortnight it will be withdrawn and in the event of the arbitrators allowing a less sum than $10,000 your client will run the risk of having to pay the expenses of both sides in connection with the arbitration.
Yours, &c.
A. B. L. Bowley,
Crown Solicitor.
