Dear Mr. Gent,
I did not want to overburden my other letter,
but cannot let pass without comment the suggestion by the
Hongkong Government that I am in communication (behind your
back) with the S.C.A. I cannot fancy myself ever being
quite so inept and discourteous as that.
Naturally there are grounds for the suggestion,
and these are they. On the 9th June last year I sent the
S.C.A. a packet of papers and inflicted on him sixteen pages
of comment. Of these, thirteen related to the District
Watchmen Force and the duties of the S.C.A., one to Criminal
Justice Administration, and two pages to the Brewin Charity.
On the first of the two pages I told him in what files and
reports to look for the origin of the Charity; in the first
of two paragraphs on the second page I complained of there
being no mention of the Charity or its work in the body of
his report; in the second paragraph I contended that the
Charity should not be treated as a sub-department of the
