My bird.

Macao 9th September 1843

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Lordship's letter, Nr 404 of the 6th Instant, and beg to say; that I see no objection to the Detachment now stationed in "Lughton's Hill being removed to the Quarters offered by Moss Jardine Matheson & Co.

I am of opinion, that it will be necessary to keep a Detachment permanently in that part of the Colony for the protection of the Inhabitants, and if Your Lordship will order a site for a Barrack (say for 50 men) and Officers Quarters to be selected, the Assistant Quarter Master General, in concert with the Land Officer, transferred to the Military Department, shall be instructed to do so.

I return the Original Enclosures by your Lordship's letter.

I conclude the materials of the present temporary Barracks will be of more or less use in the erection of the permanent Barrack, and should be applied to that purpose. I recommend they be so used.

I have &c.

(Signed) Henry Pottinger.

I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of Your Lordship's letter, Nr 403 of the 6th Instant and its enclosure, and to express my entire concurrence in the selection of the site for the permanent Barrack at Saiwan proposed by Major Aldrich.

I have &c.
