It had not occurred to me that the Colony should be chargeable with the additional expenditure which the temporary maintenance of Reddy would render necessary, although perhaps the questions might be raised as to where he was domiciled before he came to Hong Kong and on to Shanghae.
In conclusion, I confess I did not anticipate that it would be necessary to incur large expenses, such as $2.40 per diem, or that it would be necessary to retain him in Hong Kong at the charge of Her Majesty's Government or the patient himself.
I have no doubt that your case will be dealt with as economically and practicably as possible, whether the sums expended be eventually to come out of the pocket of Her Majesty's Government or the patient himself.
