I am prepared to approve the
proposals contained in the despatch from
the Governor of Hong Kong if the
Federated Malay States Government consents
to the release of these Officers. I
have to request that if the Federated
Malay States Government be willing, it
may be ascertained whether the proposed
transfers would be agreable to Dr.
Jackson and Mr. Dep on the terms
specified in the Governor's despatch,
and if so, that the necessary arrangements
may be made direct with the Governor of
Hong Kong for their transfer to that
Colony.
I have etc.
(Signed) PASSFIELD.
