May it please Your Excellency,

As stated in Sir R.G. MacDonnell's dispatch No.1 of July 1866.

1857.

And My No.3 of January 185...

To His Excellency,

We, the Civil Servants of the Crown in this Colony, have been favoured with a perusal.

Earl of Carnarvon's dispatch No.38 of October last, in part reply to the Memorial sent from here in July last, for the purpose of obtaining ameliorations in our position as regards leave of absence and Furlough.

His Lordship, we are glad to perceive, is desirous of making all practicable arrangements for neutralizing the ill effects of such a climate as that of Hongkong, and is willing to grant us exceptional indulgences, but we see with sorrow that the indulgence he proposes in the way of vacation is hardly equal to that which the Duke of Newcastle granted; viz: one month in one year and three months in the next, or four months every two years.

Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, C.B.,

Governor and Commander in Chief,
