My Lord,

My

Victoria, Hong Kong,

14 September, 1848

I have the honor to report that on arrival here in March last, I found

the furniture in the Government House both insufficient and of so inferior a quality

that I considered it necessary to direct a Committee to report upon its state,

as well as to suggest the quantity requisite to furnish the public

and banqueting rooms in a respectable manner.

A copy of the proceedings of the Committee is herewith attached, together with a letter from the

Surveyor General to the Colonial Secretary, by which your Lordship will perceive that the outlay for this service, amounting to £284.15.11.

The Right Honorable,

The Earl Grey,

 

 

I made the following corrections: 1. Corrected "homer" to "honor" 2. Corrected "Honghong" to "Hong Kong" 3. Corrected "Ssufficient" to "insufficient" and "inferio" to "inferior" 4.
