And he is going clear away from the Government service ?
He is going to Shanghai. In connection with this matter in
the letter I received this morning from Mr Lo Man Kai'
..
imply asked for a fortnight's leave. He was sick and hi
gone up to Canton without permission und he asked for a
fortnight's leave. Until Dr Pearce spoke to me I had nothing
against the man. As a matter of fact the President wrote up
to the Government ind recomended the fortnight's leave. It'
is just possibla he may return at the end of the fortnight.
It is not the first case in which a man has gone without
leave and then returned.
With regard to the documents passing through your office
