' am in receipt of your letter of yesterdays
date and
deply regret that
my
Leave
of
absence from Hong Kong cannot be extended
until the end of the present year.
The whole matter is extremely unsatisfactory to myself and my compulsary retirement on pension cannot be approved without causing a very great
injustice, I consider that I am entitled "to better
treatment.
The Hon M2 Dewett stated at a meeting Board held on
of the Sanitary Tuesday August 3/t last,
"It seemed extraordinary that the Retrenchment Committer, which after all, endorsed the views expressed by the Public bealth Commission, should have recommended the compulsory retirement
best man they had, and that men
of
the
very
whom the Commission récommended should be
dismissed as soon as possible should be retained with out
any
reason at all.
If one man could be pensioned off twenty
men could be pensioned off.
#
I still respectfully suggest that I am entitled to an answer to this important matter from the Hong Kong Government, the whole matter points to a very
injustice to myself.
deeply regret having to trouble
you
serious
so much but
I feel sure that you can understand the seriousners
