Sir,
Government House, Hong-Kong, 24 November 1899.
With reference to my despatch No. 321 of the 10th instant, I have the honour to transmit a Report by Mr. Messer, the Acting Land Officer in the New Territory, which shows that my previous estimates of acreage and revenue were in part erroneous, and were due to mistaken calculations, based on less reliable sources than those now at my disposal.
2. The estimated acreage and revenues given in the annexed Report are probably fairly accurate, though it is likely that they also will have to undergo modifications when I have before me the results of the survey which has now commenced.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
GOVERNOR,
