Surat expressing reluctance that

with great regret

that I feel compelled to request your acceptance of my resignation of the situation of Harbour Master and Marine Magistrate of Hong Kong at the expiration of my present leave; as I have subscribed to the Superannuation Fund from which I cannot derive any benefits, I trust that the amount paid by me to it will be directed to be refunded; and, at the same time, that your Lordship will be pleased to consider me deserving of the compensation usually granted to Officers who are obliged from ill health to retire.

3. I suppose a gratuity - which is occasionally accorded to meritorious Officers who relinquish their employment before their length of service entitles them to an allowance - might be considered. But such relinquishments are generally voluntary. In my case it is a compulsory retirement owing to ill health.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

[I believe there is a Treasury rule regarding gratuity for Harbour Master & Marine Magistrate but am not sure.]

AB Hongkong,
