REGS 13 APR 10,
Government House,
Hongkong, 14th. March, 1910.
With reference to my Despatch
No. 13 of the 12th. of January, I have the honour to trans-
J
-mit the enclosed copy of a letter from the Director of
Public Works asking to be allowed to receive in the Colony
his salary at the privileged rate of exchange for the
period between his leaving England on return from leave of
absence and the date of his crossing the boundary between
Purope and Asia.
2.
There being no rule to the con-
-trary although in practice salary at the privileged rate
of exchange has only been drawn through the Crown Agents,
I have permitted Mr. Chatham to draw his salary at the rate
of 4 shillings to the dollar up to the date of his leaving
Moscow, where he might have drawn his salary at that rate
through the Crown Agents had he made the necessary arrange-
-ments for doing so. I have not allowed him to draw salary
at the privileged rate for any part of the period spent on
travelling THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF CREWE,
