I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of

your tel. of the 20th inst., in reply my

enquiry whether the resources of the Colony

would be sufficient to meet the distress caused

by the recent Typhoon, without recourse to

help from outside. My enquiry was suggested by

a tel. from the Gov. of Maur., asking if

help was required.

I have learnt with much gratification

of the large sum raised by subscription amongst

the inhabitants of Hong Kong, both European and

Chinese, and I gladly approve

the proposal to vote a similar sum of 125,000

dollars from Colonial funds. The colony has

met this disaster with a prompt generosity

thoroughly in accordance with its traditions.

I have &c.
