Hongkong 28th March 1864

"It may however be well to mention generally that clerks in other departments in the Colony receive from £175 to £400 a year and that no difficulty is felt in filling subordinate appointments which merely require the ordinary qualifications as clerks, accountants, or book-keepers: But all offices requiring professional knowledge and special training, should be filled from England, and receiving a list of the proposed staff, and their duties, Sir Hercules Robinson will have no difficulty at once determining for what posts it will be necessary to obtain incumbents from home.
