In these circumstances after consulting the

Finance Committee of the Legislative Council, I have

authorised the payment of the sum of 38547.21 as show in

the enclosures to the Postmaster General's minute. of this

amount the sum of $2392.90 is properly payable from Hongkong

funds and the balance of 86154.31 from Imperial funds, and

I shall be glad if, in view of the considerations which have

the Postmaster General, Hongkong, authorised to draw on Imperial funds under his control to the extent indicated.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient humble servant,

7.2. Stabts.

Governor, &c.
