My Lord,

Referring to Your Lordship's Confidential Despatch of the 11th. July last, I have the honour to state that I have given further and full consideration to the recommendation contained originally in paragraph 5 of the Colonial Defence Committee's Remarks No. 364, dated the 21st. February, 1905, and repeated in paragraphs 4 and 5 of their Remarks No. 397, dated the 16th. June, 1906, that the different corps of the Hongkong Volunteers should cease to be under a Commandant when that office is vacated by the present holder, and that I adhere to the opinion communicated to Mr. Lyttelton in my Confidential Despatch of the 7th. July, 1905, that it is inadvisable to do away with this appointment but that when Captain (local Major) C. G. Pritchard, R.A., vacates it on April 1st., 1907, it should be held by a civilian. I am satisfied that matters will work more smoothly with the Volunteers
