(N308.

Government House,

Hongkong, 16th February 1881.

My Lord,

I have carefully considered Your Lordship's letter of the 12th instant, and whilst I find myself unable to give a special grant of $1000 to the Hongkong Public School, I concur with you in thinking that the sum of $781 recently paid to You under the Government Grant-in-aid scheme, is but a small contribution looking to the good work accomplished by the School. I shall therefore ask the Council...

The Right Reverend Bishop Burdon, D.D.

etc.
