Government House, HongKong, 20th February, 1900.
I have the honour to transmit for your information the enclosed copy of a letter from the Acting Commandant of the HongKong Volunteer Corps to the Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, and Chief Staff Officer relating to the permanent staff of the Corps and recommending certain alterations therein.
2. Major-General Gascoigne urges this increase of the staff, which is I think necessary in consequence of the large increase in the number of the Corps. I have provisionally approved of the appointment and have the honour to request your approval.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Most Obedient,
Humble Servant,
Henry Arthur Blake
GOVERNOR, &c.
The Right Honourable
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.
