Hongkong.

Dear Mr. Hankinson,
Referring to your letter of the 12th August
1924 and my reply of the same date thereto, will you
now do me the favour of informing the War Office that
my son Robert is ready to enter Sandhurst the next
term, if there is a vacancy.
He leaves Hongkong with my wife and myself,
travelling via Canada, and we expect to be in London
about the end of April. My London address, until
further advised, will be care of the Hongkong & Shanghai
Bank, 9 Gracechurch Street, E.C.3.
With anticipated thanks for your courtesy in
the matter, and looking forward with pleasure to meeting
you soon,
Believe me
Yours sincerely,
W. C. Hankinson, Esquire,
Colonial Office,
London.
