On the 3rd Instant I had the honour to forward to your Lordship's dispatch (102) on the subject of the ultimate Disposition of the Kowloon land, and earnestly entreat your Lordship's earliest consideration of that Communication.

I must also remark on the final paragraph of Admiral Hope's letter, which imputes to the Authorities, Naval, Civil, and Military a want of foresight in securing proper sites for establishments at the first occupation of Hong Kong.

The numerous documents on record here, extending over a period of some seven years (from 1843 to 1850) will show how fully and laboriously the matter was considered by Sir Henry Pottinger and the two succeeding Governors of the Colony, by Sir William Parker, and Sir Thomas Cochrane on the part of the Navy, and by Lord Stanley at that time Secretary of State.
