I have the honour to forward in duplicate
the enclosed letter which has been addressed to you by Hr. R.
Gutierrez, Second Grade Clerk in the General Post Office.

Mr. Gutierrez is the senior Second
Crade Clerk in the Hongkong Civil Service and I have informed
him that his claims will be fully considered when next a First
Grade Clerkship falls vacant either in the General Post Office
or in one of the other Government Departments. As however, the
Postmaster-General reports t..at the duties of this post, of
which I atach a list, are not of such a nature as to require
a First Grade Clerk for væir discharge, I am unable to
recommend that he should be given First (rade pay while holding
