I think that it might be pointed out to China that it was agreed
that the income was to be used for purposes mutually beneficial
to that country and Great Britain, and that, with a view to
showing their bona fides in carrying out this purpose, a definite
sum of money should be set aside, possibly in the hands of a body
containing British representatives, for the purpose of providing
scholarships for youths in China to be held at Hong Kong or a
British University or in some workshop or similar place in Great
Britain.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Wine
Governor, &c.
