Considering the state of health
as I understand over a
hesitation in
as
of Mr I. Thornton and his long residence in Hongkong, extending period of 12 years, I have expressing my opinion,
to the necessity of his return to Europe, prior to next hot season. I believe that he has served as long as it is safe for him to remain in this climate, and if possible, he ought not to return to Hong Kong.
