CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案 All AI Reviewed

Chief Magistrate of Hongkong, and I think fourteen years altogether in the Public Service of the colony; he made much progress as a Chinese linguist, and thus enhanced the value of the very important service he rendered to this Government.

He has left a widow and 4 children, I believe, totally unprovided for, and although at the period of his death he was employed under the Foreign Office, I think it right to make this report to you, and the amount of the relief to be extended to his family may come under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government.

I have the honor to be, With the highest respect, Sir, Your most Obedient Humble Servant,
