Certificate, as they were given on the application for an extension of leave. I expect a hard working police officer after 22 years police work in Hong Kong is pretty well worn out. But shall we put him on half pay & give him six months extension? I then have him re-examined, or better give him the immediate option of that or of retirement - he will probably take the extension. CPL hell night – he must go.

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter & telegram. I have today duly examined Inspector William Gould of Constabulary, Hong Kong.

"I do not find in him anything that could entitle me to say that he is "permanently incapacitated" for performing the duties as Hongkong Police Inspector, for I do not detect any organic lesion. No doubt he is rather pale and of rather doubtful complexion, he has enlarged liver and the liver is loaded with lithates and his eyesight is rather weak; but all this does not amount to permanent incapacity. It would unquestionably be better for him if he remained in Europe as he stated to me himself. This is my opinion.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
