Sir,
I am directed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to inform you that, subject to your being passed by the medical adviser of the Colonial Office as physically fit for the appointment, he proposes to offer you the appointment of Hospital Warder in the Government Civil Hospital at Hongkong. & I am to enclose for your information a copy of the particulars of emoluments attached to the appointment.
2 The value of the dollar varies from time to time, at present about 1/11; but you will receive an Exchange Compensation Allowance, i.e., an Allowance to make up one half of your Salary to the value of 2s. to the Dollar.
You will be required, if appointed, to give security to the extent of £50 in respect of the pecuniary responsibility attaching to your office.
2 f. You are to understand that your employment will be under the Colonial Government; that your emoluments will be paid solely from the funds of the Colony; and that the appointment will be subject to the Colonial Regulations in force for the time being, which are published in the annual "Colonial Office List," and can also be consulted in this office.
The Regulations (Nos. 81 to 96) specify the proceedings which are taken in a Colony when it is deemed necessary to suspend an officer with a view to his removal from the service; but you must also understand that you will hold the appointment subject to the pleasure of the Crown, and be liable to be removed if the pleasure of the Crown that you should no longer hold it is signified through the Secretary of State, in which case no special formalities are required.
