Dear Antrobus,
The
Referring to your letter of the 27th October, No:
36969, relative to the selection of a site for a typhoon
refuge in Hong Kong Harbour, the Admiralty have, generally
speaking, no objection to make to the site selected for the
proposed harbour, but before replying to your ******** letter
officially they thought it would be desirable that they
should have the opinions of one or two officers who were per-
sonally acquainted with the conditions of the harbour,
difficulty is that the officer who would have the latest
information, i.c. the late Commodore at Hong Kong Admiral
Stokes, does not arrive in England until the 5th December, and it might not be possible to arrange a meeting immediately on his arrival. Your letter is marked "pressing" but I am
afraid a good deal of time has already been taken in the con- sideration of the subject and I should be glad to know whether o few days longor would be a serious matter so far as your
action is concerned.
Will you please let me know whether it will
meet
