"I have the honor to forward the annexed copy of the Report of the Commission, Kowloon, for the consideration & remarks of H.E. the Captain General. I also circulate as early as possible a contour plan of the ground which it was originally proposed should be reserved for Imperial purposes. The relative height of every spot being recorded therein will explain the respective advantages of the sites proposed for the two hospitals, &c.

In concluding my Report, I did not consider it my duty to comment on such parts thereof as do not bear immediately on the subject in question; such I conceive to be his proposal of building a large Barrack only at Kowloon & detaching a portion of the troops to Pokfulam or the West Point; or his remarks as to Cantonment at Victoria preventing the development of the Colony.
