I have the honour to ask your sanction
to proceed to England on leave early in May next year
for a period probably not exceeding six months, wing to
the fact that my wife is now in England slowly recovering
from her second dangerous illness contracted in Hongkong –
I am specially anxious to take this leave, and to form
my plans accordingly, I have not availed myself of a
single day's leave since I landed in the Colony in July
1907, and in accordance with the custom hitherto followed
in this Colony I shall be entitled to three months
privilege and five and one half month's half-pay leave.
Mr May, who has frequently acted as
Officer administering the Government for considerable
periods, and in whom I have complete confidence, will
be available to act during my absence.
The Right Honourable,
the Earl of Crewe.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's humble, obedient servant,
Видения
Governor.
