to Sir Hercules Robinson's Scratch No 15, Miscellaneous, of 30th January 1861, forwarding and supporting an application from myself for
Government
transferred
The application then made
I desire now to renew, and feel sure that if it be in your Grace's power to entertain my request a service of nearly twenty years in Hong Kong in addition to other qualifications, will be acknowledged to entitle me to consideration.
For convenient reference I enclose copy of Sir Hercules Robinson's despatch with the pertinent extracts from its enclosure, a letter from myself to your Grace's address.
I have the honor to be,
My Lord Duke,
Your Grace's,
Most Obedient Servant,
PG
