1927, CEinC.1343/27/17b, concerning the acceptance of

Narble Hall", Hong Kong, as an official residence for

the Commander-in-Chief of the China Station, I am

formal assurance that the Lords Commissioners of the

Admiralty will maintain "Marble Hall" in a proper state

of repair at Admiralty expense and will return it to the
