Sir,

I have the honour to inform you that the

Committee which carried out the arrangements for the celebra-

tion in Hongkong of the occasion of the Coronation of Their

Majesties the King and Queen desire to utilise funds which

still remain in their hands for the erection at Hongkong of a

Statue representing Her Majesty the Queen and to employ Mr.

George E. Wade the eminent Sculptor to make the Statue.

I have now to request that you will be

good enough to forward to the proper quarter this application

for the Royal permission for the erection of the Statue and,

if granted, that you will ascertain the wishes of the King

with regard to the artist to be entrusted with the work.

I have the honour to be,
