Madam,
HK
I am directed by Mr. Secretary Amery
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
19th September applying for a further advance on
account of the pension which you receive from Hongkang
2. The Secretary of State has carefully
considered your request, but he regrets that he is
unable to comply with it, as the advance which has
already been made to you is in itself a special con-
cession and contrary to the usual practice of this Department.
3.
A copy of this correspondence will be
sent to the Governor for his information.
I am, Madam,
Your obedient servant,
MRS E.LONGINOTTO.
(d) BRIND!.
