to

Government Officer,

any I trust I shall not be thought presumptuous if I respectfully ask to be placed on the same footing with regard to promotion

as

if I had come here as a cadet, subject of course to my making such progress in Chinese as the

very limited time at my

disposal allows.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord.

Your Lordship's most obedient

humble servant,

William Du Hon Hutchison.

"Enclosure No. 1 in Head Master's Letter No: 28 of 15.5.83.

Extract from letter

by

the

Head master to the Colonial

Secretary, dated 19th February 1883."

I cannot speak in too high terms of Mr Hutchison's qualifications, of punctuality, discipline, method, and diligence,

and therefore simply record the fact that the results of the last Examination (annual) in his class were remarkably

above the average."
