Government House,

Hongkong, 29th. June, 1905.

Referring to the concluding para-

-graph of my Confidential Despatch of the 24th. instant, I

have the honour to transmit for your information a copy of

a letter addressed by Dr. Bell to the Colonial Secretary

in reply to the letter of reprimand, a copy of which formed

the fourth enclosure of my above quoted Despatch.

2.

Apart from his conduct in connec-

-tion with Dr. Laing's case of which I was unable to take

other than a serious view, Dr. Bell's service under this

Government has been in every way creditable to him.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

Mr. Nathan

Governor, &c..

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.
