With reference to my Despatch No. 272 of
the 3rd. June last and Mr. Chamberlain's reply of the 24th.
July, I have the honour to transmit for your consideration the
enclosed letter addressed to you by Dr. Koch, in which he
complains that his salary and prospects in Hongkong do not
come up to his anticipations, and that he does not regard his
transfer from Trinidad to Hongkong as being promotion or advance
-ment.
2.
As I have no knowledge of the conditions
under which Dr. Koch served in Trinidad I am not in a position
to make any comments upon his representations. As stated by
himself, his case appears to be one which is deserving of
consideration.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE
