I am directed by "r Secretary Marcourt to inform you that he proposes to select you for appoint- ment as a "urse in the Hong Kong Medical Department with salary at the rate of £110 rising after three years' service to £130 per annum. Sterling salaries are payable in the Colony in dollars at a rate of exchange fixed monthly by the Coverment and based on the average exchange value of the dollar during the month ending on the 15th day of the month in respect of which the payment is made. When, however,
such average value exceeds 2/- salaries are paid at 2/- to
the dollar.
2. It is to be understood that your engagement, is for not more than three years from the date of your arrival in the Colony; and that, if it is esta- blished to the satisfaction of the Governor that you are not qualified for efficient service there, he will, subject to the confirmation of the Secretary of State, have full power to cancel your appointment at any time within the said three years without giving you any further compensation than a passage back to England, which will be granted only if the Governor is satisfied that you have, by your good conduct deserved it.
