Mentioning that I have been officially informed by the Mapotee's Court at Canton (M.S. Ifriolett) that he had acquainted the Viceroy of that great Neighbouring Province, (who is one of the highest Functionaries of the Chinese Empire,) of my recent assumption as the Governor of Hongkong; and that the Viceroy had requested that his congratulations might be conveyed to me, together with the assurance that he will always be ready & co-operate cordially with me in my office.
I may add that similar Assurances were conveyed to me personally on a formal visit paid at the Government House a few days after my arrival here, by the Mandarin, who is the Chief local authority of the Chinese town opposite Hong Kong, and close to the boundary of British territory on the mainland.
I have the honor to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's Most Obedient Servant,
