I have laid before the Lords Commissioners of
His Majesty's Treasury r Grindle's letter of the 10th
instant relative to a further war contribution of £300,000
from Hongkong; and I am to request that a cordial
expression of Their gratitude for this further gift may
be sent to the Legislature of Hongkong.
As in the case of the previous gift it would be
convenient if this gift could be paid to the Treasury
Chest Officer Hongkong and My Lords would be much obliged,
if the Governor sees no objection, if he would inform that
officer accordingly.
My Lords would be glad to receive copies of any
ordinances relating to this gift and to the previous gift
of £250,000 in order that They may in due course present a
Minute to Parliament recording these generous gifts.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am,
Sir
Your obedient Servant,
Wal Calmer,
