His Excellency the Governor to T. H. Whitehead.

157

Government House,

HONGKONG

30th December, 1899.

Dear Mr Whitehead,

I wrote to you immediately on receipt of your letter saying that the Ordinance, which I considered expedient and advisable, had been read a third time. I have reason to believe that the Chinese Members of Council were satisfied with the Ordinance with the addition of the duration clause suggested by Dr Ho Kai. Having satisfied myself as to the necessity for the Ordinance I regret that I cannot accept your suggestion that I should refuse my assent to an Ordinance passed unanimously by the Legislative Council.

Very truly yours,

(Signed) Henry A. Blake.

The Honourable

T. H. Whitehead.
