I have enlightened [the School's] nature of their mistake, and I have sent them on to Mr Braid.

Wood's Victoria English School [is] about 500 yards off up the hill. The confusion arises when a letter meant for one school is delivered to me, when it is intended for Mr Braidwood or vice versâ, and the contents of such letters are too vague to identify the addressee.

I have dwelt a little more on the details in support of the change proposed in my Report, for the information of His Excellency the Governor who has already been given sympathy.

One School may be credited with the misdeeds of the other, e.g., a Portuguese boy at the Victoria English School some years ago stabbed another boy severely, a similar case occurred at this school two years later, but I believe both events are set down against [the latter's] reputation.

This confusion, existing in the Colony, is liable to be intensified in cases of correspondence from a distance, where a letter is addressed "Head Master, Victoria School, Hong Kong". It may be delivered to the wrong school.

Government Notification No 70 of 1890 published the transfer of the Government Central School to the new building and the subsequent change of name to Victoria College, which took place in July 1889.

To the Colonial Secretary,

Head Master, Victoria College.
