Sir,

With reference to your letter of the 14th April, 1892, 5906/92, respecting expenditure in connection with the provision of Barrack Accommodation at Hong Kong,

I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to acquaint you for the information of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury that the building of the Married Quarters, to which reference is made, was postponed in favour of the housing of the Hong Kong Regiment and the erection of a Barrack on Stonecutter's Island, which were considered more important services.

With regard to the concluding Paragraph of your letter, now under reply, I am to forward an Estimate of the cost of the Barrack Scheme which has been carried out in part, and which it is proposed to complete in order to accommodate the increased Garrison, and to make some other provisions which are urgently required for the health and training of the Troops.

This ... to the Treasury,

S. W.
