The Harbour

Dear Sir,

Postmaster

Maung

27025741

Hong Kong 31 May 1856

I had the honor of dining with His Excellency The Governor at the official dinner given in honour of Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, and I beg to state that I am prepared to swear that you could not have been in the slightest degree intoxicated. I sat at the opposite side of the table from you, and had afterwards the pleasure of conversing with you up to the very last moment of your being in Government House.

I have the honour to be,

Dear Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

(Signed) Charles B. Plunket, Acting Postmaster.

It may be well to remark that you would not yourself wish to refer to His Excellency The Governor should you be called upon.
