everybody has an opinion, but will form this without regard to individual opinions. Rawlinson said that if you ... Mr Chadwick glad to have the opportunity of seeing him and giving directions for local enquiries he desires to have made with regard to the water supply of Hong Kong, respecting which he is already consulting.

If you agree with the receipt of Jovernor's despatch, you should acknowledge it. Chart says it would be possible to enforce the adoption of the dry earth system only, throughout the Colony, to the exclusion of water drainage.

That it is not clear that the removal of sewage of all kinds can be effected without the drains being flushed by an adequate supply of water. The superiority in some respects of a properly administered system of dry earth treatment is recognised, though it is important that steps should be taken to remedy sanitary defects in Hong Kong, whether in the Chinese or European quarter, as they are a danger to the Colony.

That you find considerable difficulty and divergence of opinion in giving the Governor precise directions, due to a conflict of opinion on matters of fact.
