Sir,

Referring to your letter dated the 20th October 1893 I

have the honour to report, for the information of the

Secretary of State, that funds being required to meet a

requisition for coins we telegraphed to the Government of

Hong Kong on 7th instant to enquire if we could draw for

$200,000 and yesterday received a reply in the affirmative.

We have accordingly drawn on the Colonial Treasurer

under yesterday's date on demand for $200,000 realizing at

the exchange of 28244 per the sum of £22,277-14-8.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Obedient Servant,

TWA Ammaway

The Under Secretary of State,
