Sir,
With reference to my despatch No.

to inform you that, on the recommendation
of the Astronomer Royal, I have selected Mr C.W. Jeffries, a Computer at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good
Hope, for appointment to the post
of First Asst at the Hong Kong Observatory.
2. I enclose copies of correspondence
with Mr Jeffries, from which you
will observe that he has been requested
to inform the Col Sec of the
date when he may be expected to arrive
in Hong Kong. I have to request that on
his arrival you will cause him to be
furnished with the usual formal
letter of appointment.

at Cape Town will be asked to forward
to the Col Sec the agreement, which
Mr Jeffries will be required to sign
in respect of the cost of his passage.
I have &c.
