With reference to your letter of the 23rd May last, and the reply from this Office of the 14th July, I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to request that you will be good enough to inform him how the question of the increased Contribution to be paid by Hong Kong now stands with the Colony.

Mr Secretary Stanhope is anxious to have this information at an early date, as it affects the Account of Army Expenditure for the current financial year.

It appears from your letter of the 23rd of May that the full proposed Contribution of £40,000 has been voted for the current calendar year, and it is presumed, after the explanations given in the letter from this Office of the 14th July, that the Contribution at that rate will be duly paid.

Under Secretary of State

Colonial Office.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Agreed
