I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th instant forwarding two despatches from the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong respecting the cost of Defence Works in that Colony.

2. In reply, I am to inform you that from reports received in this office from the General Officer Commanding, it appears that the cause of the difficulty which has arisen is as follows: The figures shown in dollars agree in the Military and in the Colonial records, but in converting the dollar expenditure into Sterling, the Military authorities have taken the market rate of exchange at the days concerned, while the Colonial Government has used the Treasury rates.
