The correspondence with Lovel Werdehouse, Captain Thomsett being Harbour Master and Emigration Officer, and Sir Haroutras Robinson being Governor of Hong Kong at the time I left China, which I did on receiving a letter from Mr. Austin's son with instructions to close the Hong Kong agency.
In conclusion, I humbly beg you will be pleased to trace the facts of these statements through your correspondence, and request the favor of you verifying by granting a certificate to enable me to furnish proof that I served under Government in China, subsequent to purchasing from the Medical Staff Corps, to assist me in obtaining the Civilian Pension from the Principal Secretary for the Colonies.

I declare, I am Your Most humble Servant, Williams Gee.
