THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY TO GOVERNOR SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.
DOWNING STREET,
24th December, 1880.
SIR,—I have read with interest the account given in your despatches No. 116 of the 2nd of August and No. 181 of the 2nd of November, of the planting operations which are being carried on in the Colony, and I am glad to express my satisfaction at the energetic steps which are being taken in this direction.
I wish to be kept informed, from time to time, of the progress which is made in preserving and re-establishing the woods and plantations of Hongkong.
The printed reports and photographs which accompanied your despatches, have, I presume, been transmitted to Sir J. HOOKER by Mr. FORD; if not, he should forward them at once, adopting the same course in regard to his Annual Reports in future.
Governor Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.,
I have, &c.,
(Signed)
KIMBERLEY.
