Lord Onslow
I submit the name of M. Jones, Engineer of Water and Sewerage works, Trinidad, applying for the appointment of Const. Director of Public Works, Hong Kong.
He has exactly the experience required for Hong Kong and is thought very highly of by Mr. Chadenix and Mr. Bourne.
I wrote to Mr. Jones in accordance with minutes. I'd add.
24/1
Mr. Lucas Sir Mommanney
You agreed that Jones has been drawing £600 in Trinidad for 3 yrs, viz., fr. 1 Jan '00, £500 of it is pensionable. Although only £500 of it is pensionable at present, he might be offered the Hong Kong post with the first increment.
I have altered the letter.
