Messrs Hewlett & Son

Total estimated cost of stores delivered in Hongkong according to conditions specified in list dated July, 1894,

As regards the society of Apothecaries and mess to Burgoyne Burbidges & Co., the above comparison is in every respect fair, the charges for packages and freight being in each case the same.

I doubt, however, if Messrs Hewlett & Son's charges for these stores would be within the figure estimated as above, for the reason that although they specify "packages free", it does not follow that they would adopt the particular form of packages the indentor might find it necessary or desirable to have the goods stored in. For services to the Colony, care is always taken when indenting to specify the kind of package to be used. No latitude can be allowed the contractor in this connexion.

I have to,
