The Honourable,
Sir,
The Director of Public Works.
Public Works Department.
Accounts Office.
Hong Kong. 26th January, 1932.
I have the honour to attach for your information a
copy of letter addressed to me from Messrs. Thos. Cook &
Son, Ltd., regarding my enquiry of the cost of a return
passage by Steamer and Railway from Hong Kong
-
Farid Kot
(i.e. the destination in India) which I have to arrange for
my family on their return to India for a change, possibly
by first B.I.S.N. Co. steamer in February.
As out of the 4 passages required for my family
and arranged with the said firm by me, a refund for 3 passages
is due to me from the Government.
Though my leave is overdue since 15.6.31, but I
am not accompanying with my family and staying back to the
benefit of the Government, therefore I beg most respectfully
to request that you will kindly recommend me to the Government
for a refund of 3 passages as per quotation of the said firm
at an early date, as under the circumstances such arrangement
was necessary for the sake of convenience.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(sd) Badan Singh.
No. 12. Class II Clerk.
