Dear Sir,

In reply, I am directed to inform you that His Excellency will grant your request on the terms that you enter into a Bond, in the amount of two years' rental of the premises, conditioned to pay, when called upon, to such person as the Governor of Hong Kong for the time being may direct all sums of money which they may receive by way of rent of the said premises, together with such interest as they may have allowed thereon.
