Dear Mr. Calder,
I am not sure whether you deal with Wei-hai-Wei
questions, but if not no doubt you will pass this to the
officer concerned.

We are somewhat puzzled by Colonial Office letter
of the 21st December 1932 (92710/32) about Mr. Russell
Brown's service in Wei-hai-Wei. When we had before us in
September last the question of the award of pension to
Mr. Russell Brown on his retirement from the Consular
Service, we consulted the Colonial Office semi-officially
€2 in regard to his service at Wei-hai-Wei from 17.8.1924 to
28.3.1927 inclusive which was not paid for from Imperial
Funds, and we were definitely informed that he had never
held a pensionable office in Wei-hai-Wei The Colonial
Office in their official letter of the 17th November to
the Foreign Office (of which the latter Department sent us
a copy) maintained the attitude that Russell Brown was not
eligible for any superannuation award in respect of his
service
