Not. Johnston further adds in his report, : The two members of the Committee who were present " likewise pointed out some other houses that should "be removed, if, site the second, alluded to in their report, be enclosed for a parade ground to the Barrack on site the first, and it appears, that these houses amount to 12 in number, owned by 8 persons, of whom one (a woman) is absent; "and one is willing to sell his house for $140.
Mr Johnston's report of his proceedings reached me at Macao (Your Lordship remembering rightly as to my being then there on the 11th of January), and on the 15th I addressed a letter to Your Lordship, of which there is a copy. You will have received from her on the 15th inst. 1840 Johnston a copy of his letter to my address of the 9th Instant which reached me on the 11th. Instant. I have been very much engaged in an increasing round of important business that has prevented my turning my attention to it:
"I propose if any business here will admit to visit Hongkong for a day or two shortly, and in the mean time, I have requested Mr. Johnston to give effect to Your Lordship's wishes, as to the selection of any new site for the Barracks at Chuck-Chu, not liable to the objections, that were, on enquiry, found to exist to that first fixed on.
The very day I got Mr. Johnston's Report I addressed him privately, and as I have been enabled to procure my letter, which Mr. Johnston had kept, there is a portion of it.
