GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG, 9th April, 1878.
REVEREND AND DEAR SIR,---In reply to your letter of the 4th instant, I have the pleasure of informing you that I have paid $5,000 to the Treasurer of the European Committee in Hongkong for the China Famine Fund, and $5,000 to the Treasurer of the Native Committee.
I am happy to say that both Committees have received considerable sums from munificent donors in this Colony, a result due in no small degree to the publication of your former letter in the Hong- kong Gazette and our local papers, and to the other authentic statements you and the Members of the Shanghai Committee have, from time to time, put before the public.
The Reverend WM. MUIRHEAD,
No. 72.
Honorary Secretary, China Famine Relief Fund,
Shanghai.
Believe me,
Reverend Sir,
Yours faithfully,
J. POPE HENNESSY.
