Enclosure No. in China letter No.911/197 of 31 October 1902.

"TAMAR" at Hong Kong.

13th October 1902.

Sir,

In reply to your letter of the 1st instant, enclosing a copy of your reply to the Colonial Government relative to the proposed reclamation in front of Praya East, I have the honour to inform you that I am of opinion that your proposition to reserve an open water space in front of the War Department property for the mooring of War Department Launches &c., would not be in accord with Naval requirements, as this space is all included in the Man-of-War anchorage which is even at present too small for the Navy.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(Sgd) C.G. Robison.

Commodore.

L.F. Brown.

Commanding Royal Engineers in CHINA.
