Salary from Hong Kong funds after the 22nd proximo. Their reply...
In C. Agents despatch no. 361 of 31st December last, it is stated that Mr. F. Clarke will, under section 20 of the Hongkong Pension Rules, be allowed to count two months of the leave now granted to him as vacation leave, although only half pay is available for him during that period.
You will be good enough to complete Mr. Carrington's papers on his arrival in the usual manner.
