GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 14th. March, 1913.
In continuation of my Confidential Despatch of
the 4th. ultimo, I have the honour to inform you that I have learned from Mr. S. B. C. Ross that Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe at present Head of Sanitary Department is a candidate for the post of Post- -master-General.
As he is the senior Officer and possesses the requisite ability I recommend that that appointment and consequent vacancies be filled as follows:-
Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe...
Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher....
Mr. E. Carpael...
Mr. A. E. Wood....
Mr. J. D. Lloyd...
Mr. M. J. Breen.
..Postmaster-General.
...Head of Sanitary Depart-
-ment.
...Official Receiver.
...First Assistant Regis-
-trar-General.
..Second Assistant Regis-
-trar-General.
...Assistant Postmaster-
-General.
The only question to my mind is the appointment
of Mr. Carpmael, of whose qualifications I am ignorant, to the
post of Official Receiver.
As however he is proceeding on long leave of
absence direct from Weihaiwei advantage might be taken of such leave for him to be attached to the Board of Trade, as was done in
