With reference to the letter addressed to you

from this Office on the 6th May last, and to your reply of

the 8th idem, I am dired ed by the Secretary of State for

War to inform you that the Colony of Hong Kong has paid what

is the equivalent to the British Exchequer of £10789-9-6 ás

the Military Contribution for the quarter ended 31st March

1891, instead of such a number of Dollars as would secure

the required credit of £10,000.

£2566-19-8

The difference of £789-9-6 like the sum of

-

making £3356-9-2 in all will therefore be

taken as a payment on account of the £40,000 to be paid for

the current calendar year.

I am,
