Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies
My Lord

I have the honor to place in Your Lordship's hands my resignation of the offices of Crown Solicitor and Queen's Counsel for the Colony of Hongkong held by me for nearly thirteen years -
It is with much regret that I feel bound to take this step, but since I last had the honor to address Your Lordship I have been suffering from further and severe illness, and I am advised that a return to Hongkong during the next two years would probably be with very serious risk to health - Under these Circumstances therefore I think it only right that I should at once, reluctantly, adopt this course. Regarding the future I venture to add that I understand Mr. Alfred B. Johnson, now acting Crown Solicitor in Hongkong, is a candidate for the appointment in the event of my failing health obliging me to resign.
Mr. Johnson is a gentleman of high tone and one of the ablest Solicitors I have known in the Colony
