Mr. Herbert

I kept this paper in anticipation that something might come from the Governor,

but if nothing authentic has been heard of it, I do not think we can do anything in the matter.

The lowest mastership in the central school at Hong Kong is paid £300 & quarters: the school at the Falklands is more purely elementary, & the nature of the appointment is I think only £150.

As he evidently wishes to join his brother at Hongkong, I do not think it would be much use writing to him about other Colonies.

10/4/10.

I saw a notice in the newspaper of a junior master having been appointed. I think it was on account of play debts - then there is no doubt about the fact of the vacancy.

Messrs. ... as proposed by Under-Secretary. He seems a good man.

Minute 1574 which disposes to appoint to vacancy. Telegram to Governor 16 April.

This output is still not perfect, as some parts of the original text remain unclear. However, it represents a significant improvement over the original output.
