I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 38 of the 31st January, and in reply to inform you that I have no objection to the proposal that Messrs. Butterfield and Swire should be granted a 999 years' lease of Quarry Bay Marine Lot No. 3 on condition that they construct a Dock on that site, and that they will construct two large Patent slips instead of a Dock on Marine Lot No. 2, Extension.

3. I have now the honour to transmit for your consideration the enclosed copy of a further letter from Messrs. Butterfield and Swire in which they ask the Government either to allow Inland Lot No. 6 to be treated as an extension of Marine Lot No. 3, or to grant them a lease of that lot for 999 years.
