Common Room,
T. K. Dealy, Esq.,
Director of Education, Hongkong.
Sir,
Middle Temple,E.C.,
October 29th., 1909.
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt
of your letter of the 30th. ultimo asking me to explain the
attached voucher:
The items refer to fittings supplied by
Messrs. Aches to my quarters at Victoria School in 1905 (not
1906). These fittings are still there and belong to me.
I recognise the vouchers as those which I
corrected for A Chee who had included items for my quarters in
the School account. After this correction he made separate
bills for school items and all these have been duly paid by the
Education Office.
The two vouchers attached, after correction
were kept by me merely for reference. They were not and were
never intended to be submitted to the Office for payment. Not
having been destroyed after the school account was paid the
vouchers appear to have been discovered and
submitted to you to cause misapprehension.
unnecessarily
I may add that having bought most of the
furniture for my quarters from A Chee and paid for the same
immediately I do not propose to pay this debit balance until I
have verified it by reference to my receipts. I am however
notifying the liquidators of the firm that the Victoria School
owes nothing and that any outstanding account must be submitted
to me in the proper form with an explanation of the delay.
I have etc.,
(sd.) W. H. Williams.
