This is to certify that Mr. Charles St. John Cleverly, Surveyor General, having been during the last Twelve months frequently under my charge, and more particularly during the temporary absence or illness of his regular Medical Attendant. During the past Summer (1854) he suffered from a very sharp attack of Eruptive Fever. Taking into Consideration Mr. Cleverly's long residence in this climate, now 13 years, and also from the nature of his duties, constant and daily exposure to a Tropical Sun, I have no hesitation, in praying that a change of air to Europe for a period of 18 months is essentially necessary for the restoration and preservation of his health.

(Signed) J. Carroll Dempster, Colonial Surgeon.

Hongkong,

Sept. 13th 1855.

For the Colonial Secretary.
