You may remember that you wrote on the 24th June

to Lord Wigram enclosing a despatch from the Governor of

Hong Kong, asking whether the King would be pleased to

become Patron of the University of Hong Kong.

In replying to your letter Hardinge asked whether

you could inform him if there were other Universities in

the Colonies whose claims might be considered as good as

that of the University of Hong Kong. I wonder if you have

been able to obtain any information on this subject?

Yours sincerely Which Alexander.

E.B. Boyd Esq., C.M.G., Colonial Office.
