Royal Engineer Office, 11 James Street,

22nd July 1856.

Sir,

Having been nominated by Mr. Monsell to an appointment in the Surveyor General's Office at Hong Kong, and shall be ready to sail for that Colony on the 4th September.

I have the honor to report that I am informed by the Colonial Office, that any pay will not commence until the day I embark, viz. 4th Sept., and as I am struck off the strength of this district from the 19th July, I therefore lose 45 days pay. I would earnestly request that the Colonial Office be moved to date the Appointment from Lieut. the Bingayne,

Inspecting General of Fortifications.
