To My Lords

Hongkong, 18th January 1845

I have the honor to draw Your Lordship's particular attention to the Enclosed Extract of a Minute of the Executive Council, ordering the payment of the Salaries of the Civil Servants of the Colony in Spanish Dollars, while a sufficient supply of that coin exists in the Commissariat Chest; as I had already ordered in the case of the Consular Servants at Canton, and reported to Lord Aberdeen.

I trust that this measure, which appeared one of mere justice under the circumstances stated, will be approved.

The Right Honorable Lord Stanley, M.P.
