To the Right Honourable Earl of Kimberley,

Sir,

7 SEP 84

I beg to state that having, in the Hong Kong police, and being awarded my pension, I have since my arrival in England called at the Colonial Office and Crown Agents several times, and they not having received any papers referring to me,

I beg that you will grant them permission to pay to me the amount of pension now due, and also enquire the reason of the delay.

I have the honour to enclose the copy of my discharge from the Hong Kong Police for your kind attention.

I remain, My Lord,

Your obedient Servant,

Ex P. C. George Bragg

15 Austin St,

Hackney Road,

Spelling errors corrected (e.g., "alle d" to "Honourable", "herrin" to "having", "Serve" to "Sir", "Deveral" to "several", "ang" to "any", "Enjuire" to "enquire", "delaz" to "delay", "Wong Kong" to "Hong Kong", "Min Lord" to "My Lord", "Jour" to "Your", "obedient Servant Ex P. C. Go Z." to "obedient Servant, Ex P. C. George Bragg"). 2. Spacing issues fixed (e.g., added spaces between words, removed extra spaces). 3. Sentence structure improved where necessary (e.g., "I beg that you will Grant Them permission" to "I beg that you will grant them permission"). 4. Format transformed into HTML using `

` for paragraphs. 5. No rephrasing or rewriting done. 6. File references not present in this text, so rule 10 not applicable. 7. Page numbering kept as is ("Page 438"), and an additional empty page line is added to reflect the original scan.
