Mem
On the 17 of May 1855 the Colonial Secretary, put into my hand (in his Office) for perusal, a letter from the Secretary of State for the Colonies (Sir R. Molesworth) dated 19 April 1855, referring to a Dispatch from Lord John Russell the Governor of Hong Kong dated 25 June 1855, 1.23, in which authority was given to provide the Harbor master with a house, or an equivalent for one; and directing that the instructions contained in his Lordship's letter were to be carried out - this was the first intimation I had received of any answer to my applications of the 4th April 1855.
June 1855 4:32 No official Information was ever communicated to me on the subject, as it ought to have been; but, from having seen Sir R. Molesworth's letters I was induced, after waiting a month for some official notification, to address the Colonial Secretary on the subject.
