Sir,
Victoria, Hong Kong,
18th August, 1848.

With reference to my letter of the 14th Instant. I now forward for your information copy of a letter to Major-General Commanding the troops in China, by which you will perceive that it is totally out of his power to continue to furnish the guard heretofore posted at the Naval Stores.
Under these circumstances, if it meet with your approval, I shall cause directions to be given to the Superintendent of Police, to furnish to the Naval Store Keeper a guard of ...
Commodore ... (likely "Punridge" or another name, but "Commodore Punridge" is not clearly incorrect given the context; however, without further information, it's hard to be certain, so it's left as is, assuming "Punridge" is the correct or a plausible name as per the original text), Smier (likely "Senior") Naval officer in China.
However, to follow the exact instructions and preserve the original content as much as possible:Sir,
Victoria, Hong Kong,
18th August, 1848.
