November 28th, 1850.
Understanding that Mr. Stanton the
Colonial Chaplain will not return to the Colony, I am induced to offer myself
as
a
Candidate for the appointment and to request your kind interference in my behalf with His Lordship the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
I graduated at Ch. Ch., Oxford, and received my present appointment as Military Chaplain in March 1845 at the recommendation of the Lord Bishop of London, in whose hands I left the testimonials to which I then had the honour to lay before His Lordship.
During the period I have filled my present post, owing to the sickness or absence
His Excellency S. G. Bonham,
Governor of Hongkong,
&c.
