My dear Alexander,

Thank you for your letter of the 22nd October

2 regarding the letter which I sent to Wigram on the 24th

of June, enclosing a despatch asking whether the King

would be pleased to become Patron of the University of

Hong Kong.

I duly received Hardinge's letter asking whether

there are other universities in the Colonies whose claims

might be considered as good as that of Hong Kong University,

but I am not yet in a position to answer it as it has been

necessary first to write out to one of the colonies concerned

and we are still awaiting the Governor's reply.

I will write again as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) E. B. ROTO.

Major Ulick Alexander, CMG., CVO., OBE.
