Sir,
=
With reference to your letter of the 29th October 1905 forwarding a copy of a letter received from the Crown Agents for the Colonies, requesting that pay-
ments be made to Mr A. Watters a Pensioner of the Govern-
ment of Hong Kong I have the honour by direction to
inform you that Mr Watters died in the Mackay Fospital
on the 12th July last. His pension was paid up to the
31st March 1908 and payment for the period 1st April to
12th July was therefore due at the date of death. Appli-
cation has been made for this amount by the Mackay Hospital
authorities towards settlement of deceased's account which
is enclosed together with letters of the 25th July and 20th
October from that Institution, and I am to request that
the claim may be submitted to the frown Agents for the
Colonies for consideration.
I have &c
(sd) Ceo. J. Bourne
for Under Secretary
