A previous letter from you the Honorable Envoy, respecting a certain man surnamed Tang of Kin-teen village (of Canton Province) to exempt him from the paying of the land tax (formerly due from Hongkong) has reached
me.
Whilst therefore dispatching an Official personage to investigate the matter in conjunction with the Singan Magistrate, minutely and truly, I previously also drew up an official answer, as is on record.
According to the report of Woo, a candidate for a Magistracy, which was conjointly made by the Singan Magistrate Tang, they have ascertained that the said Tang's fields are situated within the jurisdiction of Hongkong, and the Chinese Mandarins consider it not proper to exact the tax from Tang, because Hongkong is made a possession of
Honorable your Country.
I have therefore addressed the local Mandarins to consult maturely, to make up the original amount of money and rice, and take measures to that effect, without demanding in any longer from Tang. Whilst communicating this for the information of You the Honorable Envoy, I wish you a full measure of happiness, and address this important paper.
