General and office
Hong Kong. 1 Coll 1196
In reply to
your
letter of the 10th August.
I have the honour to inform you
that your resignation has been accepted by the
Governor. In reply
to your request
that before your retirement you enjoyed
seven months half pay leave which
certainly you could not have been
granted under the circumstances I have
to say that it has therefore been
disallowed by
His Excellency
I have the honour to be
Your most obedient servant
H. M. Fowler
Acting Colonial Secretary
Para Costa
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
