With reference to our letter of the 4th October, we have
been asked by the Government of Hong Kong to inform you that
should you contribute to the Widows and Orphans Pensions Scheme
at the rate calculated on your salary, your prospective widows'
pension would be $802.40 which at 3/- 1 amounts to £120.7.2.
per annum, but calculated on a contribution of 4 per cent of
your pension it would amount to $643.28 which at 3/- = £96.9.10.
per annum. I have to request that you will acquaint us of
your final decision as to the rate of your contributions from
the date of your retirement.
F. Browne Esq.,
60 Fornham Road,
Bury St.Edmunds.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
