EXTRACT FROM LETTER FROM MR. R. S. SELWYN CLARKE, GOVERNMENT MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, HONG KONG, TO

DR. A.J.R. O'BRIEN, C.M.G.

M.C.

CHIEF MEDICAL ADVISER, COLONIAL OFFICE.

Dated 30th June 1938.

Turning to another subject, you will, I think,

be glad to know that the Governor has given me formal

permission to include provision for a Deputy Director of

Health Services in the Estimates for 1939. I venture to

mention this point because the Secretary of State has

already on a previous occasion intimated that he would

be prepared to support such an appointment, and I felt

that you might wish to have time to consider the merits

of various officers for the post. As you will remember

I have already ventured to submit a name for your

consideration in the event of this Government agreeing

to the appointment which agreement has now been

reached.

I have not yet received a reply regarding

the conditions of service for Sisters but no doubt

that is coming by ordinary ocean mail.

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd.) R.S. SELWYN CLARKE.
