the Commander-in-Chief, I am prepared to submit the terms,
as revised, to the Secretary of State for War, for his

4. Before doing so, however, I shall
be glad if you will kindly inform me whether the Hongkong
and Whampoa Dock Company accept the terms as now proposed,

the Secretary of State for War, and returned to me.

the continued occupation of the War Department land by the
Company is subject to the original terms approved.
