Very undesirable to advance a claim for payment of Pensions. I am entering into correspondence with Mr. (an unsatisfactory correspondent) on how we can recommend the menu for consideration now. But I think it is entitled to attention at some stage. A pension, I think, should be done by a good letter, like letter 7127 of 1889.

At present, my retirement is being considered. Strecke. I tend to think that Beth's letter, together with a detailed proposal, is worth considering in that light. If you approve of the suggestion in principle, I wish to speak to Mr. (on the exact proposal to be made) with Mr. Hallim & for Caine Road. The former was a judicial officer, who stands on a different footing from the latter.

M 25/1 I quite agree. 225. The Captain's pension suffers from a lack of information, and it is an opportunity for considering the finest that it is advisable to inform Mr. that it is a serious matter. "Who when is a question" is a good application; but that of the Council in this case is doubtful.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hong Kong, 17th May, 1860

My Lord Duke,

About this time last year, I had the honor of addressing a letter to Your Grace's Predecessor, which was forwarded in Lieutenant Governor Caine's Despatch No. 88 of 19th May 1839. In reply to that application, I was told through Governor Sir Hercules Robinson that Your Grace regretted to see little likelihood of my transfer to a more salubrious climate, but that a note had been made.

To His Grace The Duke of Newcastle, P.L., Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.
