12 JAN REG 12 JAN 31;
I have the honor to solicit
that your Lordship may
be
pleased
to inform the Government of Hongking, whether it is your
intention, that I should at anytime act as sole Deputy Registrar. I understood from Mr. Branston in my appointment in 1882 as Accountant and Deputy Registrar, that I was only to assist the other Deputy Registrar, if required, and to attend principally to accountant's work.
The work of the Deputy Registrar and Accountant has so much increased since 1882, that when I took vacation leave in 1888, I paid for an Acting Accountant Deputy Registrar out of my own pocket.
I have the honor to be
Your Lordship's most obedient,
I Barff
Accountant and Deputy Registrar
