Enclosure.
COPY.
Hong-Kong, 16th October, 1889.
This is to certify that I examined Mr. Stanley Sutton in Cantonese, the results being as under:-
1. Copy writing- good.
2. Transcribing Chinese characters, marking tones, in Romanized form- fair.
3. Translating from the Chinese text of the Gospel of John (seen work)- very good.
4. Translating from the Chinese text of the Gospel of Matthew (unseen work)- fair.
5. Translating from Ball's Colloquial Phrases English into Chinese, and Chinese into English- both very good.
6. Copying Chinese characters- very good.
7. Writing Chinese characters from dictation - fair.
8. Conversation with a Chinese man- very fair.
Considering that Mr. Sutton has been studying Chinese only nine months, I consider the result of the examination to be highly satisfactory.
