foliatives way Your Lordships say, in consultation with Int Commissary General Coffin, decide the question, discussed in letter No 318 of the 5th Instant, as to the future Military Expenses of Hong Kong, it is quite clear that the provision of accommodation for the Troops now here, and those expected from England, is an object of primary importance. I therefore do myself the honor to say, without awaiting Your Lordship's promised Answer, that I am quite prepared to sanction any further Expense beyond the former Estimates that may be found requisite for that purpose, and that I think it would be very advisable were Major Aldrich instructed to carry out the original plans for Barracks (or any that may be thought better) at Ehich Choo and Laiwan, and at any other point where they ought to be established.
No. 49.
Major Aldrich will no doubt, for a time at least, require the assistance of officers to superintend the works in progress, such allowances as your Lordship may see fit to recommend. I shall (if it rests on me) be ready to confirm.
I take this occasion to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter of the 5th Instant, and to beg that an allowance of $4 monthly for lights may be granted to the Watchmen
