Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No.10848/98 of the 21st ultimo forwarding a copy of a
despatch from the Acting Governor of Hong Kong reporting that
Mr Herbert Hartley who was recently engaged for service in the
Police Force of that Colony had been pronounced unfit for
service on the ground of defective eyesight.
We communicated a copy of the Acting Governor's
despatch to Dr Manson who examined Hartley prior to his being
8 May 1898 engaged, and I now enclose for the information of the Secretary
of State a copy of his reply.
I have the honour to be,
sir.
Your Obedient Servant,
