We are in receipt of your letter of 4th May ultimo.
I beg to acknowledge with reference to 48244, I concur with Captain Quin in thinking that the Chinese Force deserves special consideration in regard to the amount of gratuity to be awarded.

I would suggest that Mr. Robinson should be informed.
To The Rt. Hon'ble Sir E. Cardwell.
