Government House,
Hongkong, 13th May, 1909.
With reference to my predecessor's Despatch No. 188 of the 10th August, 1896, I have the honour to transmit for Your Lordship's consideration the enclosed copy of a minute by Mr. E. A. Carvalho, Cashier in the Colonial Treasury, together with a copy of a minute by the Colonial Treasurer dated the 29th ultimo, and to recommend that as Mr. E. A. Carvalho is for practical purposes a European, the exchange compensation allowance hitherto drawn by him should be continued although his children are no longer resident in England.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
[Signature: gar]
Governor, C.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF CREWE,
