I am commanded by the Army Council to forward you
copies of correspondence between the Governor of Hong Kong
and this office on the subject of his Aides-de-Camp and,
reference to the letter of the 15th January last, No: 10691/2
on the question of the number of regular Officers who may be
allowed to serve on the personal Staff of a Colonial Governor,
I am to enquire whether the Secretary of State for the
Colonies is of opinion that a second Aide-de-Camp is necessary.
If so it will be advisable to select an Officer from the
Reserves or the Territorial Force.
With regard to the request in paragraph 3 of Sir
F. May's letter dated 6th of January, I am to say that even
if the employment of a second regular Officer were approved, the Council are not prepared to approve the waiving the
conditions of Article 485 of the Pay Warrant.

Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,

I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
