Hence on the 16th November last, I have deferred doing so till I could furnish Your Lordship with details of the Prince's visit to Hong Kong, which the Colonial Chaplain, the Reverend Canon Beach, had undertaken to compile in the enclosed pamphlet, illustrated by photographic views.

It gives a resume of the reception of His Royal Highness from various sources, principally Public Journals of the Colony.

Although that account sufficiently proves the Prince's visit to Hongkong to have been in every way politically and socially a most satisfactory and successful event, it affords me great pleasure to add that His Royal Highness expressed himself to myself as being particularly gratified by the whole character and incidents of his reception in this Colony.

It is also most pleasing to note the impression made by His Royal Highness personally on this Community, both Foreign and Native, and to find such general and permanent unanimity existing on such a point. I believe much of the success achieved was due to the simple but strong constitution of the Reception Committee, which was formed to undertake the general control of the preparations.
