My husband at the time of his death nda been eighteen years in the towern- ment service, and would have been entitled to a pension in a few years. Owing to the fact that I have is little money. I am obliged to ark if you will be so good as to request the Honghong Governt to telegraph a remittance for me if they consider my application favourably so that I onay
