sir,
Before leaving the Public Works Department of HONG
KONG in April last for nine months leave in this Country,
I was permitted to file an application for Promotion in the
Colonial Service.
Aaswaing that this application may now be in LONDON;
may I be excused for reminding you that the present time
might be favourable for a transfer on promotion, provided
such should meet with your approval.
I trust that this communication may not be considered
a breach of regulations.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your obedient servant,
Maon
James Diet
